Bush didn't win any counties in Massachusetts. I doubt he even came that close in the few counties Kerry won by less than 60%.
If Chuck Schumer or Hillary Clinton ran for President, they'd probably carry New York easily buy lose 20 or more counties upstate. Those regions also vote heavily Republican for Congress and the state legislature.
Massachusetts isn't gerrymandered that heavily. You can't draw a "safe" Republican district in this state if you tried, while New York has several. You could draw a few Congressional districts a Republican might have a 50/50 chance of winning, but even then, we have no bench because we're outnumbered in the state legislature like 5-1 and have no swaths of red territory to draw from. Our legislature is the most heavily Democrat in the country.
It's a sad, sad state.
