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.

    So you like McCain then? Interesting. You're looking to jump over the supposed "Carteresque" stage and jump feet first back into the disaster of "Reaganesque".

    Obama's never promised to "make us love each other". You're moving a long way from being "the only sane one".

    So this is why you're voting for him over clinton? To me, those are not good reasons, esp. considering Clinton is also a lawyer

    Like I said, it was a close choice. Close enough that speaking ability alone is enough. Clinton is also a lawyer, but she's not as experienced as Obama.

    And as I've said repeatedly, whichever one wins the nomination, I'll be voting for them in the fall because 4 more years of Bush is too terrible to think about. And that's what you're voting for with McCain or even just by staying home.
