You sound like some kind of Yankee to me. BTW name one conservative legislator from New England, or from the north east for that matter.

No, I just live here, I'm "from away"...a "flatlander" so to speak.

Some of the folks from here are insulted by the term Yankee, that's for liberal city folks from Boston and New York. The hardcore northern coastal types call themselves Downeastahs.

Well, I don't know about any Congresscritters, ours are all pretty liberal, but our Governor LePage is a fairly crusty rock-ribbed conservative.

Gov. Paul LePage and Sen. Kelly Ayotte are two elected conservatives that come to mind. Carl Palidino and Rick Santorum are two conservative candidates who have recently run for office. One might argue that the election of Scott Brown for the seat held by Ted Kennedy was a victory for conservatives also.

Not sure what the point of this exercise is, but there are plenty of conservatives in the Northeast and I'm quite sure more than those I've named serving in office at the state and county levels.
