Wow! Wisconsin Democrats remain a whole lot more progressive than party leaders claim.

By the way, Waupaca County, where we had our march and rally, went to Bernie by 20 points (59.7 -39.7). The map at the link is interactive and you can see results by county.

State-wide, Bernie prevailed 56.5 to 43.1, a 13-point shellacking.




On edit, Bernie's win might have been even bigger than reported by the NYT...

3. This just excites the hell out of me...

I was on the phone to Wisconsinites last week. My little internal polls (depending on how many days I'm calling the particular state) turns out pretty well to have sized up Wisconsin.

My old state of NY is less well known in the "city", where all my relatives came off the boat, and more likely to register with the up-staters.

Then, there's my own state of PA. Now, THAT is swing with a lot of wonks at the Phily end, and more Sanders college aged Sanders supporters at my end (Pbg) with a lot of Alabama in-between... But, maybe I'm not right. I'll have to do an awful lot of calling to get a feeling for that.

Thanks, Scuba!

6. About 100K more votes for an R than for a D, but primaries are like that.

Is gerryrigging "election fraud"? No? How about this then?

7. That's why I am certain Walker stole his elections. Wisconsin was always so progressive

and even a model state, imo.

I fully expected Sanders to win, and happily surprised by the margin.

14. Can you please provide a link to where they said you would support Mary Burke and Tom Barrett?

Also, your OP shows a map of the Sanders Clinton results.

It makes no mention of Mary Burke or Tom Barrett.

16. If it's well documented then surely you can provide a link

to them claiming you would support Mary Burke and Tom Barrett.

Also, your OP makes no mention of those two. It's a map of the Sanders/Cclinton results in Wisconsin.

Also, didn't Tom Barrett win?
