Most characteristically Democratic state

[Beet]

New York. The roots of the Tammany machine there go back to the 18th century. The Democratic party was founded there. In the 1860s, they rioted against Lincoln. It is the most urban of all states. It has always been an entry point for immigrants. It is the center of capitalism, which means the center of resentment against it (OWS). It was the testing ground for the New Deal. Franklin Roosevelt was from there. And so on.
