For starters, nine in 10 of Wisconsin's Democratic voters in 2004 were white, far more than the six in 10 so far in this year's primaries. In a campaign in which race has formed a clear dividing line between her and Obama, Clinton has so far forged an 11 percentage point advantage among whites, helping offset his lopsided edge among blacks.

Forty-eight percent of Wisconsin's Democrats were male, 5 percentage points more than the national average so far this year for Democrats. Men have leaned toward Obama, but that advantage is swamped by the state's huge proportion of whites.

Working class people, especially those who are white, are another group Clinton has been carrying, and Wisconsin Democrats include large proportions of them compared to the rest of the nation's Democrats. About four in 10 voters in Democratic primaries across the nation this year earn less than $50,000 annually, compared to half in Wisconsin's 2004 contest.

Clinton has a slight national advantage over Obama with that group, but a huge 23 point edge among whites in that income category. And while about half that income group is white among Democrats nationally, more than eight in 10 in Wisconsin are, giving her fertile territory for votes.

Nationally and in Wisconsin, just over half of voting Democrats had no college degree. But again there is a racial advantage for Clinton in Wisconsin, where nearly nine in 10 Democrats without those degrees are white, compared to about half nationally.

Wisconsin Democrats also tend to be a bit older than the national Democratic average. Young people of all races have been a pivotal driver of Obama's candidacy, while the elderly have leaned more toward Clinton.

Even the state's political views tilt slightly toward Clinton, who has trailed Obama among the party's most liberal voters. Those calling themselves very liberal comprised 13 percent of Wisconsin's 2004 voters, but have made up 19 percent of Democratic voters nationally so far this year.

"It's a place where she should do better than everybody expects her to do," said Mark Mellman, another Democratic pollster not affiliated with a presidential campaign.

At any rate, that's 7 points, to the argument.  Refute all 7.  

NOTE:  Obama's advantages are also mentioned in the article - is it enough to offset?
