In wake of a single poll showing Obama with a 7-point lead, Jamie Kirchick asserts that “with a moderate Republican nominee and Barack Obama as the Democratic candidate, there’s an even chance that Massachusetts will go red.” Uh, yeah. I very, very strongly urge the RNC to take this seriously and throw everything they can into the race, accompanied by strong expenditures of resources in California, New York, and Vermont. After all, this would be consistent with the brilliant strategery of Karl Rove!

At times like this, I think that pundits should be forced to have an Intrade account that can be used to back up transparently ridiculous predictions like this.

…and, of course the idea that McCain’s “Scots-Irish” background will help him among Irish Catholic voters in Massachusetts is equally bizarre.
