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.

    HIllary easier to defeat

    Obama is winning in because he has a very well managed campaign, and the voting n public wants NEW ideas, not more of the same.

    Hillary would be much easier to defeat in the general election than Obama. Many conservative republican will sit out the general because McCain is a pretty moderate republican. However if Hillary is the candidate right wing conservatives will come out in droves to vote for McCain because they hate the Clintons. Hillary supporters, must not remember the 90s. Also many progressive Democrats won't vote for Hillary either as she is a centrist. I know Democrats who would vote for McCain over Hillary and I know republicans who have told me that if Obama is the candidate they will vote for Obama over McCain in the general election, but they will not vote for Hillary. Also Independents will vote for Obama, but not Hillary. Besides he has brought millions of new voters into this election and he will bring them along to the general election.

    If Hillary keeps up the negative attacks she will be considered even more divisive, and her campaign is advising her to do this.She is losing super delegates everyday to Obama.

    If Obama wins TX and Oh, Hillary should bow out graciously. Unfortunately nobody thinks she will be that gracious.

    the people that are advising her areliving in the past and giving her bad advice.
