2012 Election TREND Map

[Devils30]

This is the average D-R change in each state RELATIVE to the national shift. I think the deep south "trends" Dem only because many of those states had Obama getting 10-15% of the white vote and there simply aren't enough swing voters for a 7 point shift to Romney in a close election.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I highly doubt Massachusetts will shift much more than the country as a whole at this point, but it's possible it will by about as much.

The swing can be made by previously decided voters changing their minds.
