Madison, Wisconsin — “If the Democrats want to make this a brokered convention with a bunch of insiders (super delegates) deciding the nominee, the hell with them, I’ll vote for McCain. And I don’t even like McCain,” said a Barack Obama supporter over the weekend.

 It’s a sentiment being echoed across Wisconsin as its primary next Tuesday, Feb. 19, is garnering national scrutiny.

A brokered opinion is a suicide pact for the democrats.

The same gruff, independent sentiment with which Obama has successfully made common cause, has spurred Obama to the precipice of frontrunner status in the Democratic primary.
