I'm not the only one that thought Massachusetts could be competitive, but I have always said I still was skeptic about all these polls showing it close. Josh22 has also said that MA could be competitive if McCain were to win by 5% nationally.

This makes sense to me more than the others did. I still think McCain could break 40% in Massachusetts.

IIRC the Obama winning Kansas map was in a "What's the best case scenario for Obama/Sebelius?" thread, not a prediction that Obama is more likely to win Kansas than not.

That hasn't stopped Duke and Phil however to extrapolate that one map to "All Obama supporters think Obama will win Kansas." I've had this exchange with them before:

Me: I don't see how McCain can win Minnesota. He doesn't appeal to the state on any issue.
Hack: Oh yes, stupid McCain will never win Minnesota because it just hates him right? And of course he'll lose Kansas no doubt against the great Obama!

The mere fact that the Kansas map was actually tolerated and looked at seriously by the Obamamaniacs warrants its mocking for the rest of the campaign cycle. Meanwhile, suggesting MA could be close warrants a crucifixion.
