Kerry got 61% in RI, 63% in MA, and 58% in NY.
I think it's best if 'we'* let 'them'** govern themselves.

*'We' will be defined as The "New England Triangle", containing MA, RI, CT (maybe) and NYC and LI.
**'Them' Are the NASCAR idiots who watch cars drive in circles and waste billions of dollars worth of gas every saturday and sunday, or whenever the hell they drive in circles.
I am ASHAMED to be part of the same country with the rednecks who re-elected this lying f**ck because he 'keeps them safe'.
I am a Massachusettonian/RhodeIslandan/GreaterNYArean. They are Southerners. I AM NOT ONE OF THEM.
Call me an elitist. Damn sure I am. Nothing wrong with elitism.
I couldn't agree more Boss Tweed, and I'm from Missouri! Let the economically productive and socially enlightened parts of the country free from those religious leeches in the South and 'heartland'. (I hate that stupid term 'heartland'.)
Right. The economy is so much more productive in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and upstate New York than it is in Florida, Colorado, and Nevada.
Well Michigan produces quite a few cars, for one thing.
There is also a lot of growth in the high tech sector in the Ann Arbor and Detroit metro areas.
The caricature of Michigan as a backwards state economically is not entirely accurate.
