Oh for a return to those golden days of New England politics, the days when New Englanders appreciated iniative, enterprise, and independent thinking.
Let's take a trip back in time to that glorious era when the Republicans held sway in this part of the nation.
1856 Republican sweep
1860 Republican sweep
1864 Republican sweep
1868 Republican sweep
1872 Republican sweep
1876 ME, NH, VT, MA, RI
1880 Republican sweep
1884 ME, NH, VT, MA, RI
1888 ME, NH, VT, MA, RI
1892 ME, NH, VT, MA, RI
1896 Republican sweep
1900 Republican sweep
1904 Republican sweep
1908 Republican sweep
1912 VT
1916 ME, VT, MA, CT, RI
1920 Republican sweep
1924 Republican sweep
1928 ME, NH, VT, CT
1932 ME, NH, VT, CT (Even in the FDR landslide and the darkest of times for Republicans)
1936 ME, VT (Even running against the most popular President)
1940 ME, VT
1944 ME, VT
1948 ME, NH, VT, CT
1952 Republican sweep
1956 Republican sweep
1960 ME, NH, VT
1964 Wiped out
1968 NH, VT (I believe that ME would have been GOP had Muskie not been on the Dem ticket)
1972 ME, NH, VT, CT, RI
1976 ME, NH, VT, CT
1980 ME, NH, VT, MA, CT
1984 Republican sweep
1988 ME, NH, VT, CT
1992 Wiped out
1996 Wiped out
2000 NH
2000 Wiped out
2004 Wiped out
2008 Wiped out
Overall, a very impressive record indeed.
However, clearly, especially since 1992, the GOP has fallen on hard times in New England.
But the GOP shall rise from the ashes of gloom and despair and one day reclaim its historic birthright as the standard bearer of truth and liberty in the picturesque region of America we know as New England.
