Hehe, especially since 3 out of 4 voters in MA are democrat... that says

Not exactly true. Of those that registered with a party, Democrats
outnumber Republicans 3 to 1. However, 50% of the voters are
Independents.


Massachusetts politics is a bit different than in most states, I think.
Although generally regarded as
one of the "bluest" of the blue states, it has often amazed me at the number
of conservative political
views that are expressed and held here, even among registered Democrats.

Overall, those who are registered Democrats tend to be far more conservative
than those more liberal Democrats found in other states. If you recall,
these MA conservative Democrats swung MA for Reagan twice, and although
still predominately Democratic, MA often elects a Republican governor.
