If New England is a Deep Blue Democratic stronghold - why does Obama need to even campaign there? He was the first Democratic President who had to fly to Boston - and he still lost!

I wonder how much of that Democratic vote in MA was based on personal ties to the Swimmer? He was big on constituent services, which builds up a lot of support over time.

Kind of like Don Vito Corleone, except that this Don Vito didn't have a Michael to inherit his chits, and they all died with him.

I have thought for a long time that TK was a major force promoting decadence and corruption by virtue of his being tolerated in office after he had proved himself unfit for it. His power and influence in MA, and consequently in the US Senate, provided cover for a multitude of scoundrels who would have been pounding sand in the world of 50 years ago.
