How Obama won Wisconsin

The Illinois senator did well with campus liberals, white men, crossover Republicans and independents, but he made inroads into Clinton's working-class base too.

    Americans are obviously not racist!

    But they sure are sexist and I see a lot of gender discrimination going on! If Obama was a female, he would have been gone a long time ago. Obama and Hillary are not presented on even platforms at all! It is ok for Obama to play the race card, but when Hillary makes a comment about "being prepared to work in the all boys club of politics," she was slammed by every one that she was using the gender card and has not used it since! Obama is just a chauvinistic pig and so are his supporters! The only women that do not support a woman for President are just threatened because then the bar would be raised for women to act like women and not helpless and ignorant little girls!

    What has this world come to when we prefer a man who lies, plagiarizes, uses the same dirty tactics as every one else, has no substance, has no experience, his wife has hated America and has lived apathetically until now apparently, someone who is just as arrogant as Bush, some one who tries to be all things to all people....but we do not appreciate history, the people who gave us history, or all of the accomplishments of Hillary? Hillary is forbidden to use her experience; however, Obama's very little experience is blown way out of proportion! I do not get it! It goes against everything I have ever known! I was raised to know that you work hard, have goals, achieve goals and work your way up, not start from the top! Wow! That is positive change!

    Americans are not racist but they are sexist! The results prove it!
