Obama's advantage in urban Wisconsin, census data analysis with map

[usregimechange]

In Madison 48.2% of its 218,432 population has a Bachelor's degree or higher when the average in Wisconsin is 22.4%, which is in turn identical to the national average of 24.4%. This should provide a substantial advantage to Obama who has traditionally done well with higher educated folks.

In Milwaukee, the most populous city in the state (586,941 people) 37.3% of its citizens are African Americans. This should provide a substantial advantage to Obama who has traditionally done extremely well with African Americans who may make up approximately 50% of Dem primary voters in the city.

Clinton should do well in the more rural counties but will have to carry just about all of them to counter Obama's stronghold in these two urban areas.

1. Obama has a very good chance to carry Wisconsin if he has large margins in Dane County

which is well within reason. Milwaukee will almost assuredly go to him to. What he needs to do is make sure he keeps it respectable in the moral rural areas that Hillary will no doubt carry. Waukesha and Brown Counties are both areas that Hillary and Barack have targeted heavily, so Hillary needs to have good showings there to have a chance to win the state.

4. Which would be the Milwaukee suburbes and Greenbay?

2. Add in the students at The University of Wisconsin-Madison

That 40,000 person school helps even more. Not to mention we have a nice sized anti-war crowd in the state.

3. It's a shame that valuable information like this falls to the bottom of the page

While stupid bullshit like plagarism accusations stays at the top of the front page.

5. That's cause we have a whole lot of stupid people who like bullshit on

this forum.

That too shall pass, and I'm counting the days!

6. I wonder when we will get rid of them

Hopefully soon.
