Go ahead and pretend to be foolish enough to equate blue states we’ll never win in November with other states.
Some of your post is correct except for this one part. Blue/purple states are extremely important if you want to beat Obama. For example, Santorum winning Iowa, Colorado, Wisconsin are EXTREMELY important and could win us the election.
First of all, equating caucus wins to primaries, let alone a general election, is simply sophistry.
Second, I did not mention purple states. Talking about deep blue.
Minnesota, for example, deep blue and not a chance in hell Santorum wins that one in the general. Statistically insignificant caucus turn out like Colorado. Perfectly useless for purposes of general election deductions.
