6. Since Wikipedia is apparently unavailable in your area
In 1984, Jackson became the second African American (after Shirley Chisholm) to mount a nationwide campaign for President of the United States, running as a Democrat.

In the primaries, Jackson, who had been written off by pundits as a fringe candidate with little chance at winning the nomination, surprised many when he took third place behind Senator Gary Hart and former Vice President Walter Mondale, who eventually won the nomination. Jackson garnered 3,282,431 primary votes, or 18.2 percent of the total, in 1984, and won five primaries and caucuses, including Louisiana, the District of Columbia, South Carolina, Virginia and one of two separate contests in Mississippi.

8. I maxed out for Jesse in '84.

Flew to several events with him, too.

Still glad I did it.

Got behind Mondale when he dropped out. Jesse's candidacy was historic, and is one of the reasons Barack is making history now. Julian Bond and Shirley Chisholm both laid building blocks, too. All success is built on years of preparatory work by many who will go largely unremembered.

11. No he didn't take Wisconsin in '88
"He captured 6.9 million votes and won 11 contests; seven primaries (Alabama, the District of Columbia, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Puerto Rico and Virginia) and four caucuses (Delaware, Michigan, South Carolina and Vermont)"

Dukakis won WI.
