Hey,I know! Massachusetts and New York are just about the worst that you'll find in this country.However,I can't recall Mass electing any carpetbaggers who clearly had/have presidential ambitions(all our political scumbags are home grown).New York has done it twice (The Former Twelfth Lady and RFK).
You feel better about Ted Kennedy and John Kerry because they are from your state ?
That is a strange comparison but so be it.
