How come McGovern won Massachusetts?

[RIP Robert H Bork]

Because--well, I really hate to say this--but they were insane.

Also, Massachusetts is the most liberal/Democratic state in the Union (see above) and it has been so for quite some time, certainly since 1972. Not only were they the only state to vote for McGovern, they were also the only state to give Clinton over 60% in 1996 (and Kerry in 2004). Further, the Democrats dominate the state; until recently, they were an all-Democratic state, and until 2008, the only such state--it voted for Obama in 2008, has a Democratic governor and lieutenant governor, (had) 2 Democratic senators and all representatives are Democrats.

It's because Nixon kept on calling McGovern a crazy Massachusetts liberal.

That tends not to work well in Massachusetts.

I thought that the term "Massachusetts liberal" came to use because of McGovern winning Massachusetts, not the other way around?

Not voting for a criminal warmonger is insane?

Voting for McGovern was.

How? Opposing the Vietnam War was insane?

McGovern's position on the Vietnam War? Yes, it was insane.

Again--it's not the anti-Nixon vote that I'm criticising (I'm no Nixonian myself), but against McGovern, I most certainly would have voted for Nixon.

officepark just loves war; that's why he hates McGovern.
