Massachusetts was once a heavily Republican state, but the Kennedys were largely responsible for changing it to a Democratic state.

When Tip O’Neill became speaker of the Massachusetts House in the 1940s, he was the first-ever Democratic speaker.

Mass. Republicans actually elected two congressmen in 1994, but they were both defeated in ’96.

Edward Brooke, beaten by Paul Tsongas in 1978, was the last Republican US senator from Massachusetts.

An obvious MAJOR change in Mass. since 19 Apr 1775 — Day 1 of the American Revolutionary WAR.

Perhaps New Age Mass. should join the wreckage of the old Soviet Union — with its former one candidate elections ???

P.R. and A.V. — even in Mass. (IF it stays in the U.S.A.)

Note – Mass. happens to also have an about 90 percent REAL *democratic* city council due to STV PR in Cambridge, Mass. (special P.R. law from the 1930s).
