Massachusetts was generally Republican until after WWII. Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. was the last of the old line GOP.

Thanks.

Henry Cabot Lodge, that’s a name I haven’t heard in years.

It was clear up into the 1950s. Lodge, Jr., unfortunately was the total political polar opposite of his namesake grandfather, as he was quite liberal. It was JFK that ran to Lodge's right in 1952. Had Lodge been more Conservative, JFK couldn't have beaten him.
