I also think it's being talked about because it may be a better predictor of who can win in the general.
Sure, we wouldn't hear about either if someone had wrapped up the nomination and/or the same person was ahead by a slim margin in each, but it seems pretty valid.
Additionally, how much does the particular nominee matter in states that will almost certainly go blue or almost certainly go red no matter who is the nominee? A argument, it seems to me, could be made that only who carries swing state really matters, even more than the electoral votes of the state.
