Quote:

A 16-point deficit seems ugly until you consider that Bush defeated Kerry 69-30 in the state in 2004. This was one of my top pro-Obama arguments in the primary. LaRocco would have little hope of overcoming a 39-point deficit at the top of the ticket. But 16 or even 20 or 25? Not easy, but easier. By running tighter, Obama makes it easier for down-ticket Democrats to win.
