5. MA has a "woman problem." Liberal AND sexist.

We've never had a female governor who was elected to that office by We The People. We've had a LTGOV (Swift--an uninspiring Republican) fleet up when her boss quit--then she got tossed under the bus and spun to a pulp when Mitt Romney decided HE wanted the corner office. The GOP leadership refused to give her even the OPPORTUNITY to run in the primary...they basically told her to go home, sit down, and shaddup if she knew what was good for her. It was one of the most obvious examples of political bullying I've ever seen in my life.

Liz Warren was our FIRST female senator.

On the "woman thing" we are not all that and a bag o'chips. We're, well....assholes. Way behind the curve.

It's something I just don't understand.
