Since 1928 Mass. has gone for the R candidate four times--twice for Ike, and twice for Reagan (surprising to me).
The home state question is interesting but a better question is: have R candidates in recent years won the presidency while losing Mass? The answer is yes of course HW Bush did it once and W twice.
I don't see how Mitt Romney can win Mass. And I don't see how President Obama can lose Illinois. So, let's stop the election spending and donate the money to charity. And inaugerate President Obama for his second term, starting May 1. The nutcases would love it! May 1st!
and why do you say you don't see how he can win Mass? I beleive several people said the same thing about a certain senator about 3 years ago..???

true, and Mass. was the only state to go for far-left McGovern over Nixon in 1972. That was 40 years ago though. BTW latest poll I see has Scott Brown up 2 pts. ove Eliz. Warren. 37-35.
