Completely Disingenuous Headline on Yahoo re: Ryan and Electoral Maps
Big Bold Letters proclaim:
Paul Ryan shakes up the electoral map
then the rest of the ho-hum article really never says any such thing:
But Ryan may have shaken things up. Before the vice-presidential pick, Ryan's home state of Wisconsin was leaning toward the Democrats; it was a blue state. Can the Romney campaign now put the Badger State into play? Even if Romney can't win it, can he make the president and the Democrats spend more time and money in a state they'd rather already have in the bank?
It would be a tough win for Republicans because the Democratic demographic hurdles in the state at the presidential level are not easy for Republicans to overcome. Still, President Obama will likely spend more time in Wisconsin now that Ryan is on the ticket. Given the Democrats' limited resources, if they have to spend money on Wisconsin something -- or some state -- has gotta to give. Our guess? North Carolina will get a lot less attention after next month's Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C.
