>> well, look, she is very, very strong in oshkosh.n town but not a particularly liberal town. she was the former vice mayor out there and on the city council. as those oshkosh returns come in, that'll decide whether she wins this race. >> the 14th district, portage and baraboo, you've got luther olsen and fred clark. they are locked in a tight one there as well. this is one that is hopeful for the democrats, but certainly it would be making history if he were to win. right now olsen leads with 54% of the vote to 46% of the vote and in the neighborhood of 3,000 votes. 20,632 for olsen. 17,702 for fred clark. what does this mean? >> well, look, there's a city there, baraboo, that the last i checked it still had not got its numbers in. baraboo is a very pro-clark town. that's where he's going to have to get huge numbers out of there. uld still close this up and pull ahead. >> john nichols, washington correspondent of "the nation" magazine. our coverage continues here in madison, wisconsin. stay with us. we're right back with more.

>> look, your scranton-oshkosh thing was true in 2010, it will be true in 2012. just four states, ohio, michigan, pennsylvania, and indiana, 64 electoral votes, chris. that's one quarter of the 270 you need. he won all of those states in 2008. he doesn't need all of them in 2012, but he'll need some. the argument in favor for him is history. the last time a democrat was george herbert walker bush. if you look back at history, it would suggest that democrats will rally to the cause by the end. but barack obama would rather have his number be higher than lower at the moment. >> i think you're optimistic. i don't think history is much of a guide right now. i think people are angry, but you know as much as i do. >> never. >> thank you, chris. >>> what's up on the satan sandwich? he's going to add to that. he elaborates on his big metaphor. you're watching "hardball," only on msnbc. important phone call i made. when i got my medicare card, i realized i needed an aarp... medicare supplement insurance card, too. medicare is one of the great things about turning 65, but

. >> you are speaking my language, that oshkosh to scranton line.democrats lose that section of the country they shouldn't be reelectioned. once you lose the heart, i don't see how you can win any other places. i don't think it's even moral to go that way. you have to defend the guys with the parkas that go to the big nfl games when it's cold. i'm talking marley, for the democrats. >> i think in the long term they see the working people as moving away from that old stereotype, being less white, less mid western. >> more high tech? >> there are a lot of working people in colorado and virginia, increasing numbers are hispanic, and i think that's what they see all the any base of the democratic party. >> i think that's despicable to turn your back on the people who have been voting democrat for 30 years. >> they'll take what they can get. >> i don't think they're saying they're turning their back, but i think in order to expand the map as much as possible, they're acknowledging there's another brand, and as ben points out, a lot of the voters are latin
