“My mother-in-law seems to think McCain has a reasonable shot of winning Massachusetts as well.”

Let's get real people, this is delusional thinking. Obama will win MA in a landslide because he has the one and only qualification it takes to win here : a D after your name. No matter what Obama does or what comes out about him, he will win 60% of the vote here. MA is not even in play. NH maybe but this is Kennedy land folks.

I think Obama will lose nationwide in a land slide but nit in MA. If you don't live here like I do you have no idea how hideously liberal this place is.

My MIL LIVES in Mass. My wife used to.

Others are also not convinced that MA will be the walk for Obama that you and many others (understandably, don’t get me wrong) think it will be.

Mass. voters lean liberal, but for the most part (outside Boston and Cambridge) they are still patriots. Kerry and Gore were able to present themselves as patriots, but Obama cannot.

Also - there are more Independent voters in Massachusetts than Democrats IIRC - McCain simply appeals more to them.
