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.

    UNFAIR MOMENTUM

    Obama has the misperception of momentum on his side, which is highly unfortunate, and highly unfortunate if he becomes the nominee for the party. A large reason for his wins is due to republican crossovers, who have no intention of voting for him in the general election.

    Witness Rush Limbaugh's calls for such a thing, as well as across talk radio and on republican websites.

    Thus, the Democratic Party will have a candidate with no experience, but fine rhetorical skills -- who steals his material from other people like Duvel Patrick and John Edwards.

    So the republicans have managed to create a myth of momentum that'll probably die as people get to know this dry hole. Crying shame.
