http://www.buzzfeed.com/rebeccaelliott/obama-sees-sharpest-drop-in-donors-from-western-stOther states with significant drops (in order of size):
CA, NY, FL, GA, NJ, WA, WI, NM, and SD
States still strong for Obama donors: VT, ME, MI
My comments:
1. I have here recently expressed surprise at polls showing Romney has a chance in Michigan. Even I, with my prediction of an Obama rout, still have him winning Michigan. I think this study strengthens that.
2. I still have Romney winning Maine, though I've written here recently that I was about to change that. This study suggests I better hurry.
3. On the Romney VP thread, I suggested he would be well-advised to "forget the South and take someone from CA or CO -- or anywhere on the Pacific Coast except Alaska". I think there's evidence here to show that the GOP should pick a Westerner to go along with their Massachusetts candidate as he faces off against a ticket featuring Illinois and Delaware.
