This is not deliberate poo throwing but given the nature of the Washington-Boston echo chamber and outliers the thing that surprised me about Obama's 2008 election was that he was from Chicago and still got nominated much less elected. This, in my opinion, was solely due to having an NY senator primary opponent for the nomination and Sarah Palin on the opposition ticket in the GE. Any numbers on this sort of regional antipathy?
Good question. If anyone would know it will probably be Stat. He has all kinds of voter micro-data from all over the Country.
