There are two very successful radio talk shows on in mid afternoon opposite each other in the Boston community. Both hosts are on the conservative side of the political spectrum. Additionally, the daily newspaper Boston Herald endorsed Bushie in 2000 and 2004. No doubt the liberals dominate the populace, however.
I was really hoping escapefromboston and speedy would echo your post (thereby proving me right.) ; )
btw - I live in New Jersey, so I can relate to that feeling of aloneness. I'm sure it's even worse in Massachusetts, but the garden state is no rose garden.
