Not so. MA was always possible to elect a Republican statewide. This single House district is one of the most true-believing extreme-left ideological ones in the country. Mainstream voters began pouring out of the district in the 1950s and were all but gone by the early 1980s. Pelosi (along with Dianne Feinstein) is considered an establishment Conservative in this district. You'd have to run a Republican who was a Stalinist in order to be remotely competitive here, and why would they vote for a Republican when they could elect a Democrat (or Green) ? Barring a change of biblical proportions, a Republican cannot win here, period.

Not true that it is unwinnable. The key is to run a campaign that focuses on racism and brand Pelosi/Dims as racist. Hispanics need to feel that Dims are racist, blacks need to feel that Dims are racist, Chinese need to feel that Dims are racist. With sustained campaigning, this is not impossible. Remember that Robert Byrd the Klansman is a Dim. The message need to get out there.
