Mass is a long established Blue State. If I'm not mistaken, Reagan was the last Republican President to carry Mass in a Presidential election.

Yes...big win and now maybe we can actually get the congresscritters to slow down and use their damn heads (on both sides) and not doom our future in a "Thelma and Louise" holding hands thingy and driving off the cliff.
