Who needs two parties to have a democracy?  Not us.

The thought of any place as populated as New England voting single-party in the 21st century is beyond repugnant. Perhaps we will need to bus twenty-something Freedom Riders at the risk of their lives into the region to register suppressed right-leaning voters there.

Don't blame the voters - the Republican Party just moved away from them both ideologically and geographically.  A more reasonable two party system for the Northeast would be 'New' Democrat and Social Democrat.

Likely true. That still doesn't mean the rightists there, all 40 of them, aren't in fact "disenfranchised" by being a permanent helpless minority there.

Haha, just like millions of blacks in the South.

I thought it was plain that I was being facetious.

But even after these votes are tallied, there are still some million+ McCain voters in MA+RI alone. A decided electoral minority, but not a small one. Not that that matters any.
