CQ Politics' Jonathan Allen contributed the following:
Illinois Sen. Barack Obama continued to show strong appeal to non-traditional Democratic primary voters in today's Wisconsin primary, which does not register voters by party and therefore held an "open" primary.
Exit polling showed that New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton actually edged Obama, 52% to 47%, among white Democratic voters who made up just more than half of the Democratic primary electorate. But among independent voters, who were about a quarter of the Democratic primary electorate, Obama held a dominant 60-30 lead over Clinton. The crossover Republicans who participated in the Democratic primary -- about a tenth of the exit poll respondents -- favored Obama with 70 percent of their votes.
Clinton held a narrow edge among women voters, but Obama dominated among men voters by more than a 2-1 margin.
