[Gay State Conservative]

...but remember that she’s a NEW ENGLAND Republican.

That's what many Freepers simply can't understand.New England might as well be on a different planet.They label Scott Brown,Romney and Ayotte as filthy Commies but they're *the best...by far* that can be expected from that part of the country.Reagan carried Massachusetts in 1980.Today,he wouldn't get 20% of the vote here.

That's how far down the toilet then region has sunk.

100% correct. Maine conservatives can be grateful for their governor who got elected on a plurality only because the Socialist and Marxist factions ran separate candidates.

Absent that, you just aren't going to do better than a Brown, Romney or Ayotte in Red England.

"Reagan carried Massachusetts in 1980. Today,he wouldn't get 20% of the vote here."

He also carried it in 1984. Given that execrable RINOs McQueeg and Willard got 36% and 37.5% respectively, I expect if the MA electorate were presented with an honest Conservative, they would do better than that.

And that boys and girls is how we got The Enemy Within.
