I replied to a post that said Massachusetts will vote dem in the next election for governor.

Before Patrick the Republicans held the seat for sixteen years. No bullshit regardless of the congressional make-up.

It might be hard to fathom but I can remember a time when Massachusetts had two u.s. republican congressmen and a U.S. republican senators. This was 1980 not ancient history.

Times change I guess.

Mitt Romney pledged to increase republican presence in this state and never followed through. He instead spent all of his campaign money on himself. Mitt isn't the worse politician in the world but let's just say I wouldn't charge into battle if he was leading.
