Title: 2016: Sen. Jim Matheson (D) vs. Sen. Scott Brown (R)

Assume that Obama gets re-elected and there is an anti-Mormon scandal involving the GOP nominee that sweeps Matheson into the UT senate seat in 2012. Matheson wins by a wide margin and Obama actually gets 45% in Utah. Brown wins a full term by a comfortable margin in MA.
Brown shifts to a barely pro-life position and Matheson shifts to become barely pro-choice.
Could this finally break up the Red State/Blue State divide?
