Plymouth will likely vote for the next Republican who wins nationally, unless they are a huge SoCon.  In a reverse 2008 environment, Plymouth, Worcester and Barnstable would all flip.  There is a growing rural/urban divide in MA even though the state as a whole isn't shifting.  Also, I'm not sure if Clinton would play better/worse than Obama in those places.

I would change that to parts or the eastern half of the state.  That certainly isn't the case in the Berkshires.
Or anywhere west of the Worcester Area/ North of Springfield, really

Which means only 8/9ths of the population of MA is in the area with a growing rural/urban divide!
It's still important to note- otherwise people could get the impression that Pittsfield will vote for Ted Cruz, or something.

Plymouth. Then - Worcester. Then, probably, Barnstable, which is somewhat more socially conservative then fiscally conservative  (but, generally, socially moderate or even liberal) Essex. Then - ... probably nothing..
Is Barnstable really that socon? It has Provincetown and stuff...
