I think he will, but in a small margin.

But if he loses, he might as well throw in the towel considering, hardly any candidate loses their home state and wins the entire election.

Actually most recent polls show Obama with a lead margin of between 11% and 15% over Romney, but with ~10% undecided. The majority of undecideds typically end up against the incumbent. Assuming that holds true in Mass, all Romney might be looking at 45% of the vote against Obama's 55% if the election were held today.

It depends who they are. In Texas, the undecideds are almost all Republicans. In Massachusetts, they are Dems or lean-Dems. By November, each group will have been reminded who they really support at heart and those gaps will grow.

Undecideds in all places tend to be 50-50.

Keep in mind only 3 Presidents in US history lost their home state but yet won the Presidency, I guess if you want to have a good chance to win, win your home state!

I wonder how many people in 1992 thought Clinton was going to lose Arkansas?
