Demographics and growth are definitely in play, which can affect both small and big states. Everything being equal though, it will be harder to flip a larger state only because it will take a greater investment to make it happen. Say Texas was ever in the position of where Indiana was in 2008, it is likelier that the Democratic candidate will not try as hard for Texas just because of the large investment required. If it could be the tipping point state, maybe, but Indiana wasn't a tipping point state. That was just a play by Obama to get a bigger EV margin.
