Obama Won the University of Wisconsin -Madison Campus 10 to 1.
"Doyle was backdropped by University of Wisconsin students sporting red "Badgers for Obama" T-shirts, all bearing the candidate's face. At his side was Madison Mayor Dave Cieslewicz, who triumphantly declared that Obama had carried the campus 10-to-1. Everyone had expected Obama to run up the score at the famously liberal school, but as the results rolled in, it became clear that Obama had won counties all across the state, from Lake Michigan to Lake Superior."

http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2008/02/20/wisconsin/index.html



At Gordon Commons, one of the major polling places on Campus, Obama had 1122, and Clinton had 160.

At my polling place a little off campus, Obama had 1000, to Clinton's 200.

It appears students at the University really showed up today, and they showed up for Barack Obama

Overall in Dane County, the total number is Obama 68%, Clinton 31% according to CNN

He also Carried 64% of Milwaukee which helped drive him to victory.

Also, additional news is that Obama should pick up two superdelegates in Steve Kagan and Ron Kind, who both said whoever won their district would get their endorsement. I believe Obama won both of those districts.

2. I wanna know about Green Bay; did the residents there vote against
Clinton because the NY Giants beat them? That would be sad.

6. That's either really flipping dumb, or funny as hell. It's too late for me
to determine. I'll get back to you.
