I also think most republicans in New England are more socially progressive than the republicans from the south and Midwest that you see on the news.

Spent 20 years in Mass, 5 in Cali, 20 in Florida. Couple of takeaways from that experience:. You are correct. Southern conservatives make traditional NE republicans look mighty progressive. Boston gets shit for being racist, but baby, you ain't seen shit.

Ever see an effigy of a black man hanging from a noose on a gallows, in the back of a pick up with the words "Keep the Whitehouse White" above the gallows? No? Collier county Florida, circa 2011.

Fuck that state.
