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.

    @ kilroy

    I'm actually in my mid-30s, and very liberal. I am also so tired of the recent Republican administrations, and am trying to learn from the disatrous elections you speak of. I'm not thrilled about every aspect of Clinton and do think Obama's heart is in the right place, but also agree wholeheartedly that she is the more solid, dependable choice. Four and 8 years ago I might have been entranced by Obama's message (and I was a Dean fan the last time!), but I know that it takes certain qualities to actually get things done.
