A WEAK LINK

The New York Times has reason for the Democratic party not to get all cocky, which leads to a gem from a friend who just e-mailed me:
“Kerry got more votes than Obama in California.
Kerry 6.75 Million
Bush 5.51 Million
Obama 6.37 Million
McCain 3.87 Million
With the right candidate, California could be in play for the GOP.”
Another friend counters:
“I wouldn’t take that from these stats. Any state where they didn’t campaign, it doesn’t mean much. There was no campaign in Cali. If there had been, Ob would have had 7.5 million votes and Mac would have had 5 million. Or something like that.
Ohio is much more interesting because Ob tried really hard there and didn’t do better than Kerry.”
