Good afternoon, class.

Here's 2012 presidential results from West Virginia. As you can see, Romney got a whooping 62.14%



Now, such a mega victory couldn't be possibly contained to just one small state such as WV. A landslide such as this is bound to splash all over the place.

Under normal circumstances, Romney's megacoattails from West Virginia would be enough to make Maryland, which is just around the corner, competitive. But, because of Obama's even more mega victory in D.C. (90.91%)



Romney's megacoattails were largely canceled, allowing Democrats to narrowly hold Maryland by 61.97%



I mean, you can just see West Virginia megacoattails crossing the state line in the Panhandle.

Now, you may ask what happened to Obama's mega coattails in Delaware. Why there was no effect on Maryland? The answer is simple, these coattails commuted from New Castle County to Philadelphia via Amtrak.

Makes sense.  Don't forget also that Romney's mega-coattails were somewhat contained in WV due to a lack of a major air hub.

You're right. With a major air hub it'd spread wide.

LOL Kal

Do you think Mega coattails from Colorado can take a plane to the eastern seaboard and shore up North Carolina and Virginia?

I don't know, but thanks for raising the Colorado question. The Atlas had already established Colorado hates Hillary, so such a mega hatred is bound to splash on the map.

And who do you think was driving that Amtrak?


(As you've probably guessed, the extra coattails are packed in those donut boxes he's carrying.)

Every time Joe is returning from D.C., he carried some D.C. mega coattails with him.

Biden's so desperate to keep the coattails coming that he's taken to bribing Amtrak with billions of dollars:
