I don't know where you're from but I'll bet the clothes on my back that you've never even *been* to Massachusetts,let alone lived here.With that assumption in mind I,a *lifelong* resident of Massachusetts,will just gently say this to ya....a "Tea Party" candidate for Senate wouldn't get 30% of the vote in Massachusetts.
That might not be the case in Indiana...or Texas...or even Florida.But Massachusetts is different....much different.
Which is why I drive through Canada to avoid it
