Analysis

Although Kerry was gaining momentum, he won Wisconsin with just 39.6% of the vote and won with a margin of slightly over 5%. Edwards did very well in the state, winning several counties and even won Wisconsin's 5th congressional district. Edwards reached 40% in 5 counties, and Kerry did win a majority of the counties in the state. One of Kerry's keys to victory was winning the heavily populated and the county with the highest turnout, Milwaukee County, with 40% of the vote.

Following a poor third place finish, Dean, who just a few months ago was seen as the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination, suspended his campaign.
