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.

    Alienating The Base

    Billcap:

    Obama has won ALL of the ten contests since Super Tuesday, by margins ranging from 17 to 82 percentage points. Hillary Clinton is most definitely NOT collecting half the vote, unless you are following Mark Penn in deciding that certain states and demographic segments "don't count."

    I understand the disappointment that Clintion supporters must feel about their candidate's failure, but this does not excuse, much less justify, rewriting the laws of mathematics.
