(2,440 posts)These should be the target group for dems. I understand it is not a closed primary, but that is a large group to vote for someone other than the incumbent.

(6,477 posts)You only have to convince the nation's one undecided voter, Martin Dixon-Pettlewaite of Lake Delton, Wisconsin.
Martin is a 61 year-old former forklift driver for the Old Milwaukee brewery. Several years back, he and his wife Mimi moved to Lake Delton, where he now runs a water taxi, ferrying tourists across the lake for one of the local waterpark resorts.
He's an old union man, but he's suspicious of government. He is, mercifully, not on Twitter.
Good luck, Bernie people!
