Quoted: Barry Burden, a UW-Madison political science professor, agrees that Madison is key to Sanders’ chances here. “Sanders managed to turn out thousands of people for a rally in Madison last summer,” he says, referring to Sanders’ appearance last July at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum. “His supporters in the area are already organizing to turn out progressives on primary day. He will need to run especially well in the district if he is going to win the statewide vote.”
