This is a slightly different spin on another what-if.

Imagine a world where John Kerry returns from Vietnam.  He is disillusioned and blames LBJ for the difficulties of the war effort and becomes a Republican.

Now odds are that the state of Massachusetts won't elect a Republican Senator (or will they).

Anyone want to tackle this guy ....

Whatever the question, I only know one thing...

Don will surely vote for him.

Massachusetts had a Republican senator from 1967-1979. What Massachusetts won't elect is a conservative Republican.

If a chain of events were set in motion that led to Kerry becoming a Republican, chances are he'd be much more ideologically conservative than in real life too.  So it's actually quite reasonable to predict that Don would vote for him.

Which is unfair, as at least a quarter of the forum are ultra-partisans.  I just have the balls to admit it.
