Massive HA. It's usually just a baseless and lazy assertion people make to promote a candidate they like, or knock down a candidate they don't like. I'd like to know under what circumstances people using this type of analysis would say that a candidate they dislike is a "good fit" for an important state, or a candidate that they like is a "bad fit" for an important state.

Misuse does not erase its utility. FA.

Has its uses, i.e. calling Gardner and Jones bad fits for their respective states. Often misused, though.

Horrible Analysis that's often a slap in the face to the fundamentals of political geography and demographics.
