I was born and raised in MA, although I haven't lived there in many years. I also owned a home in NH for several years.
Yes, there are a lot of Democrats in MA. Yes, it's the only state that voted for George McGovern. I was too young to vote in 1968, but I had a bumper sticker that said "Don't Blame Me, I'm From Massachusetts."
However, if what you wrote is true, why has MA had so many Republican governors? Why do the polls show incumbent Scott Brown, a Republican, in a tight race with Elizabeth Warren? Why was Bill Weld, the Republican Governor when I lived in MA, so popular? He was even re-elected with 71% of the vote! That sort of blows the whole claim that people in MA don't vote for Republicans.
If Romney did so much good for MA, why did he have a 34% approval rating when he left? If he worked across the aisle so well with Democrats, why did the Democrats complain so much about his arrogance and why did he find it necessary to veto 844 bills? If that's
reaching across the table, he must have very short arms. :
Edit: It just hit me. You wrote "You could put God in MA and the state will still go Blue." I didn't know God was a Republican.
Obviously, when I was speaking of Red vs. Blue state I am referring to the predominate political party. As far as using God as an exaggerated example..it's just that, an example. You need to calm down.
From what I know, Mitt is very well liked in NH which has to be a reflection in some part of the job he did in Massachusetts. Him carrying NH is a bit of a stretch but not impossible.
Because of the job that he did in Mass
I don't hink that they liked him too much there, so what does that have to do with N.H?
Well Bob, I live in NH and I will be getting up bright and early tomorrow morning to do my part to remove Obama from office.
The average granite stater does not care what Romney's approval rating was when he left MA. A lot of independents I know are voting for Romney. If I had to make a prediction I'd say Romney carries NH by 2 to 5 points.
By the way, what the hell are you rambling on about Scott Brown relating to Romney in NH for? it makes no sense.
What was the final NH margin? Networks stopped showing it after calling it.
