Wisconsin primary may become a beauty contest for Dems
The Wisconsin presidential preference primary, long a key in preconvention skirmishes, may be only a beauty contest next spring for Democrats. If unchanged, voters on the Democratic ballot would cast a popularity vote while delegates are chosen in district caucuses. Republicans would still select delegates via the primary. The state party debates caucus plans as Republicans angered by independent voters warn of disenfranchisement.
