New England

[Old Man Willow]

Can most of New England, along with the Upper Atlantic be considered as solid Dem as the plains and deep south for the GOP? It always seems we have a much harder time holding onto a base than they do.

I think most of New England is more economically conservative, I could be wrong though. Dukakis's stances on crime and taxes probably hurt in CT. Since 92 the religious right has increased it's grip on the GOP, and most of the people up there do not care for that. Nevertheless, they fired Chafee and he wasn't that bad. I would have preferred he kept his seat rather than that scumbag Lieberman.
