And in 2012, Obama beat Romney and democrat Kaine beat Allen.
You can’t compare state races to federal races. People simply use different criteria.
This isn't a data point. The Walker recall election WAS a data point - June of 2012, 5 months before the Selection.
Looking at this (and your VA thingees) also suggests that the Democrat Party and the media (but I repeat myself...) use the fog and tumult around the nation election to exploit their protected vote factory "sanctuaries" to the max.
As I said, it isn't like the media will uncover this for you. "You'll never eat lunch in this town again", I believe the expression goes. In the "jernalism" community, that goes on a national scale - AND you can forget about ever getting a "book deal" payoff for the rest of your life.
Plus, this is MUCH more important than trivialities like Benghazi or Fast and Murderous. We saw how the media was willing to go to the wall for those blaring klaxons of Obama incompetence.
No, this is for NATIONAL power - who gets to dole out the small chunks of cheese stolen at gunpoint from your paycheck, while hacking a great big fat Wagyu steak out for themselves.
The Republican Party is fighting unarmed, and they have been for years. They can't admit it, because their money stream would dry up. They have to bluff it out until they can get the federal judges off their neck, but I think that's just a pipe dream.
Now I think we know where the expression "if it isn't close, they can't cheat" came from.
This new "changing demographics" mantra is a smokescreen to cover up the fact that even if it ISN'T close, they can cheat - where it matters.
Democrats for the win!
Obama wound up carrying the counties in Wisconsin that had voted against the recall ( contra Scott Walker )?
