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.

    @ Kilroy Was Here

    Regardless of what anon. w/PhD may have said, you still manage to give us mature people a bad name. Calling somebody out for being younger than you -- basically for not having the good judgement to have been born in the 1930s if your "seen elections since FDR" comment is to be taken at face value. Hell, I've "seen" every election since FDRs, and all that means is I'm probably too damned old to get next to an attractive 30-something with a PhD or even a high school diploma, and apparently you're older than me. It has nothing to do with my political insight. Yours either. Compared to you I'm also "wet behind the ears." I'd love to think so.

    "Obama a disaster" is nothing but a groundless, baseless and utterly untethered pronouncement from someone who likes to call younger, better educated adults "wet behind the ears." I'm sorry, but no one can magically catch up with you in age nor wisdom.

    Actually it kinda sounded more like Kilroy was high.
