Why do they poll this state so much? The senate race?

Why do they poll this state so much? The senate race?

Yes.  Though having the GOP frontrunner from there adds an interesting dynamic.

And people ask why Romney isn't a viable nominee.

And people ask why Romney isn't a viable nominee.

Considering no Republican has won MA since 1984... it's hardly his most damning quality... he's probably doing much better than Santorum.

[Wisconsin+17]

38 percent is just 2 points stronger than McCain, in his home state.

That's just sad, bro.

Of course, the last Republican presidential candidate from MA got 37% in a three-way race in 1992, and 45% in 1988. But the Republican party of 2012 is no longer the Republican party of 1988.
