    How he won?

    There was a group of committed people who got our butts out there and knocked on the doors and made calls. No small feat when the temperature is 1 degree! It was great to see how well-organized the campaign was. I also don't think he could have done it without the support of the WI SEIU. They're great! Last night was sweet for those of us who volunteered. :) I hope OH took note. I always feel like WI & OH are similar. (You know, in that latte-drinking, prius driving, birkenstock wearing, trust fund way. Ha!)
