This is a new phenomenon that is being floated around by experts.
We all know what coatails are. For example, Obama coattails in Connecticut might propel Murphy to victory. Or Romney coattails in North Dakota might propel Berg to victory.
But how about mega coattails? The theory is that there is a such a huge margin in a state that it actually leaks over into neighboring states
For example, Romney is going to win Utah by so much that it harms Obama in Nevada and Colorado.
They say mega coattails from Illinois is what gave Obama Indiana in 2008.
Should Obama campaign in Salt Lake City? Obviously he won't win the state but if he can get the margin down in Utah, there will just be coattails in Utah and not mega coattails
