Politically, I don't think you'll find a better state than Massachusetts. Senators Kerry and Kennedy for God knows how many years, a brief hiccup for the nude centerfold idiot, then Warren and Markey. A dang good House delegation, too, and a state legislature that has been over 90% Dem for a good while. Went Blue for every Presidential since Ike, with the exception of Reagan. (I think that was the only exception, but there might be one more. Sorry, too tired to think tonite.)

Where you gonna find that combination?
