You would think independent nor'easters
MA, CT and RI are dominated by cities. 20 years ago, NH was reliably R, but then high housing prices drove several hundred thousand Massholes north, and NH is now a toss-up.

i have been to ny, ma, ct, nh, and vt and i have never gotten the impression they are so fiercely independent compared to texas. i think in any state with very high taxes one will find lots of dependent people who will grant them stuff.

every time a dem runs for texas governor we hear about how taxes need to go up. they have not won in a long time.

Strong union and Democratic machines run the political show in New England. As another poster mentioned, NH got contaminated by people moving up from Taxachusetts.
