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.

    meh

    What a bunch of gibberish. It's pretty rare when the letters section is this bad. I waded through the first three pages of this muck, then decided to check the editor's choice letters out, to see if anyone actually had any notable, salient points to make. Seventy one letters posted at the time, nothing worthy of recognition.

    If anyone makes it this far, you must be truly hungry for some substance by now. For those I offer these vote totals (unofficial):

    Barack Obama 645,554

    Hillary Clinton 452,590

    John McCain 224,122

    Mike Huckabee 151,114

    Discuss.
