I saw part of the program that is described here and would have to say that I agree:
"With the help of local civic organizations, CNN producers spent a week in Racine selecting 325 people they said were equal numbers of Bush supporters, Kerry fans and undecided voters. But judging by the applause that erupted during the meeting, the crowd tilted Democratic.
"Adviser Tucker Eskew, representing Bush, drew some crowd support but not nearly as much as Devine, especially when they were asked about Iraq and the economy.
"'I think this crowd is leaning Democratic,' said Marge Henze, a retired teacher and undecided voter.
"'In terms of applause, the Democrats are making more noise,' said Republican Jim Eastman, a former Racine alderman.
"The tilt appeared evident when a Racine businessman asked what the candidates would do about the outsourcing of jobs.
'We have lost thousands of jobs in Wisconsin,' he said. 'Outsourcing has handcuffed us.' "
