Maybe it sounds nuts, but here's a few examples: pro-life dems running and beating pro-abortion Republicans in Boston, a new Dem Rep from Maine (going to replace Baldacci in 2002) who will win, who is pro-life and pro-gun. The Dem speaker of the Mass. House is anti-gay marriage, pro-life. (When Ted Kennedy retires, please let this guy take his place!) The Democrat who lost to Lincoln Chafee (RINO-RI) in 2000 for the Senate was also pro-life.
On the other side, you have the super-liberal Republicans in Mass., RI, Vt., and only slightly better ones in Maine. The Republicans in the Northeast have become more liberal than the next generation of Democrats.
You are right. It does sound nuts.
You are so right! I know a lot of old-time Roosevelt democrats who treat their politics like they do religion. You can be to the extreme left or the extreme right. To them there is no difference. You must vote democrat. that's the way it is in Massachusetts. So our best chance to win in that state is to put up conservative democrats. Oh, and don't forget July 18 is Mary Jo Kopechne Day. All you Taxachusetts should meet at the bridge.
