Didn't Obama lose this state by like 40-50% in 08? He's an awful match for those states.
This is a stupid response.
Bush lost alot of states by like 40-50% in 2000, and how many of them did he not even receive 60% in the 2004 uncontested primary? None, the answer is none.
Same w/ Clinton, and Bush 1, Reagan, etc etc etc.
In none of those states did that President lose 30% of their party's vote in the General. Fact of the matter is most of these states still have quite a few registered Democrats that no longer vote Democratic in a national election. None of the others have it to the same extent. You throw in the act that these are mostly conservative poor uneducated rural southern whites, and we have a Harvard educated black liberal, there you go.
