Lefties half only half a brain, so they can walk, talk and breath. Reasoning is not included.
Closeted Cleveland Indians fans by the thousands live in Boston.
Two words...Charlie Faker. Romney is less of a rino than Faker.
1. Their GOP governor isn’t a real republican, and (2) they have to live more directly with the failures of a far-left governor than they do with a failure of a US Senator.
And the Democratic party is further to the left than most of the voters.
So voters don't have a problem electing a Republican governor to keep an eye on the legislature and the Democrats.
The Republicans who get elected are pro-abortion and significantly to the left of the Republican party in other parts of the country.
Conservatives used to say that given the choice between a Democrat and a Democrat voters will vote for the real Democrat.
That's true when Massachusetts voters send senators and representatives to Washington.
The state is strongly Democrat and real Republicans don't win those races - or the races for most other offices.
But voters aren't averse to electing a RINO governor to keep a lid on the spending and corruption.

Why is Massachusetts the way it is?
The Irish Catholics still vote Democrat thinking they are voting against the Yankee Protestants.
The Yankee Protestants have started voting Democrat thinking that they are voting against the Catholics (and now against the Evangelicals in other parts of the country).
And the state isn't big enough to get very far away from Harvard or Boston.
Since then you had candidates from the Middlesex DA's and Attorney General's office like Scott Harshbarger and Martha Coakley. They may have lost some votes because of the controversial Fells Acre's case some years back, but mostly, voters didn't like their personalities. Harshbarger was sort of like his name - harsh and barging. Coakley was such a terrible candidate in her race against Scott Brown that it's impossible to figure out why the party nominated her to run for governor.
