New England in particular still has a weird fetish for election, approving and re-electing "muh moderate Republican" Governors.
As a Massachusetts resident myself, this baffles me to no end.
Not everyone is so ideologically "pure" as you are. There are still lot of people, who values "good governors", their party notwithstanding..
And apparently those things are mutually exclusive? It's apparently impossible to be a good governor if you are too ideological. So therefore apparently moderate "FF" heroes are the only ones good at governing.
