I wonder if Mitt would carry Massachusetts in the general election?

Uh....no. The 2004 result was:

Bush 1,071,109 ... Kerry 1,803,800

Romney could probably do better than Bush, but 730,000 votes is a lot to make up.

That’s so strange...good enough to be governor, but not president? That just shows how state and local governments aren’t as valued as the federal government.

Probably the only person who could beat Kerry in MA would be Teddy K. Hillary won’t do that well and Romney would likely do better than Bush as well. However 730,000 is indeed a lot to overcome.
