Wisconsin - what is Barack's plan of attack there?
I'm convinced that Virginia, Maryland and D.C. will go to Obama. Then we go to Wisconsin.

What's Barack's plan there? Does he have TV ads running there? How is his ground game? Does he have offices set up there?

The most recent poll (granted, it was 3 months ago) shows him only down 7 points. This was when Hillary was the unquestionable frontrunner.

7. He just opened a campaign office in Madison with one coming in Milwauke
and I think Wausau. Local volunteers here in Madison have been working for months and on campus (UW Madison) there is a lot of activity for Obama. I think the key to WI is doing well in Milwaukee, Madison and then winning the areas along the Iowa and Minnesota borders (states Obama won).

11. One of the Obama ads running repeatedly in NE WI.
I've had a few phone calls from the Obama campaign the last week; I haven't received any calls from the Clinton campiagn. Obama is scheduled to speak in Madison this upcoming week.

He's got my vote on the 19th!!!

12. Obama will probably spend the week in the state. Id be shocked if he didnt go to the Bradley Center
In Milwaukee.

14. If he was only down 7 points 3 months ago,
and considering that the upper Midwest has been going his way, and that Milwaukee is practically next door to Chicago... That sounds promising. :D

15. Show up?
Seriously, the Midwest has not been kind to Hillary. You'd have to think that would follow into Wisconsin, particularly once they get to know him...which they probably already do considering the proximity to Illinois.

17. I have been hesitant to predict any state
but living in northern Illinois and having many friends in Wisconsin I will make an exception in this case. Wisconsin will be a slam dunk for Obama.
