Twit is without question going to lose Massachusetts* but could Lyin lose Wisconsin as well? The last time the presidential and vice presidential nominees on the same ticket both lost their home states was in 1972 with the McGovern-Shriver duo. I find that to be very interesting.
*Since Twit claims about five home states, it's arguable which one is truly his. I'm going with Massachusetts since it's the only one he's actually held elected office in.

Throw in his side kick, Ryan's Wisconsin (Obama by 8) and we have a sweep.
In politics, you can tell how good a candidate is by how well he does with the people who know him best.
I guess that adage has never been more true.
