Actually, the majority is not that great.
The largest political party in Massachusetts (among voters) is the unenrolled Party.
This idiot Cahill who wants to run for Governor next year has recently declared himself a member of the unenrolled Party.
The unmitigated audacity of this POS who has reached the pinnacle of his political career as a Democrat operative presumes that this small redefinition will insure him some sort of traction among thinking persons who already realize that the 2 political party system stinks.
There are a lot more conservative thinking types in Massachusetts than one might surmise from media reports.
The next 2 election cycles promise to be of great interest.
I don't know how long you've lived here but I,a lifelong resident,know that this means nothing.It's just a quirk.Here,the proof is in the pudding.
When was the last time the Republican nominee for the Presidency got more than 40% of the vote here? Wasn't it '84? When was the last time Teddy or Kerry got less than 60% of the vote here? When was the last time a *solid* Republican was elected Governor? Exactly how many Republicans have we sent to DC in the last 20 years? How many did we send last year?
I assume you're catching my drift here.
Are *all* residents of this state filthy scumbags? Certainly not.Can the majority...a *solid* majority....of this state's residents be classified that way?
