That attempt to court suburbanites and college educated white folks really didn't pay off.
LOL, seriously. It worked in a few places (suburbs of Chicago, NOVA, CT), but holy cow did it provide zero electoral gain.
eh, honestly, I thought it would work in 3 places even without making an attempt at improvements - the northern west coast, Chicago, and NoVa - and Chicago looks downright pathetic on this map. I expected a lot more red in that area with an enormous effort in both campaign and wasted time registering voters who didn't matter, specifically there.
