Well, that's interesting. The Democratic advantage in Massachusetts fell from +34% in 2008 to +20% in 2011.
Wow, I'm somewhat surprise but then I forget how unpopular Deval Patrick is down there.
Arkansas was coming soon... and it sadly did.
I'd say it's a Patrick/Obama combo. If you're familiar with Massachusetts politics, you know that this state is far more Democratic that it has right to be on virtue of the number of conservatives here. There are areas of the state that will go 70% for Brown but vote to re-elect their Dem state rep.
Or, at least, there were. A lot of those areas went GOP in 2010, accounting for the near doubling of GOP state reps.
