There has been a lot of talk about how Hillary is now playing Obama's role, especially among African-Americans and in the South, with Bernie picking up states and demographics that she was winning in 2008.

But there's actually quite a few states that have remained constant in being for (or against) Hillary in the primaries.


Hillary's (Democratic primary) states, so far:
1.   Massachusetts
2.   Ohio
3.   Florida
4.   Tennessee
5.   Arkansas
6.   Texas
7.   Arizona
8.   Nevada


"Anti-Hillary" Democratic primary states:
1.   Maine
2.   Vermont
3.   Minnesota
4.   Nebraska
5.   Kansas
6.   Colorado
7.   Utah
8.   Idaho
9.   Washington
10.   Alaska
11.    Hawaii


Looking at those lists, I would definitely rather have the first list the "pro" and the second list the "anti."

Lots of big states and swing states in the first list.

Texas was sort of half and half in 2008, since there was both a primary and a caucus (and both had delegates at stake).

Of the remaining states, I expect the #AlwaysHillary states to be: NY, PA, IN, CA, NJ, NM, and maybe KY/RI.
The #NeverHillary states will be: WI, WY, OR, and ND, with CT as a possibility.

Nine out of ten anti-Hillary states are caucuses. You'd think there is a pattern there.

They're mostly states that she would have lost in primaries too though. The margins just wouldn't have been as outrageous.
