Mass: Obama 15 point lead over Romney

http://www.electoral-vote.com/

I only mentioned this because you'd think that he'd have more support in a state he ran. Maybe familiarity breeds contempt!
I wish there would be more focus on Romney's governorship, though. I read on Wikipedia that he wasn't well-liked, several of his vetoes were overturned, among other things.

overturned and put into law by the state congress doing a 2/3rds vote each time. He was pretty much run out of office after his 1st term.
