That's a pretty big leap to make from one state. It's not as if Massachusetts has been a battleground state any time im the last 20 years...and if you put aside the Regan 1984 landslide, it's probably been more than 40 years since Mass was a battleground.

McCain might be able to beat her, but we're supposed to judge electability in the general by a state the Dems have locked up every election cycle, and judge it so in December of the previous year? Sorry, not buying.

Any state can be a microcosm of a bigger election. And you are right Massachusetts has not been competitive since 1988 (which was a landslide year), so that is my point. McCain being competitive in Massachusetts is very bad news for Hillary (IF McCain is the nominee).
