Massachusetts began showing its leftward tendencies in the 60s with the Kennedy's and became more liberal as the years went on. In the 1980 it voted for Reagan by a whisker because Anderson split the democratic vote. In 1984 its worth noting that it was the closest state to vote for Reagan over Mondale in that massive landslide. Reagan won it by only 51 to 48% where nationally he won 58 to 40. The same trend is noted in Rhode Island however Nixon did carry it and Reagan narrowly in 84.

I believe my homestate of California is heading in this direction after voting so heavily democratic in a republican midterm election year. Also voting for Obama 61-37% in 2008 and not voting for a republican for president since 1988.
