General Electoral Warning: This is what happens when you piss off the Irish.

Enlighten me as to why Irish were pissed off in 1924? 1920 is obvious, but I can't remember a reason for 1924. Something Davis did maybe?

He was a dry and favored the Ku Klux Klan.

Heh.  P-town was D even then.

Here's a map of the 1978 Senate Race. Tsongas vs. Brooke.

Bizarro-MA.  Although what one might expect in a liberal GOPher/conservative 'Rat situation.

It's quite surprising to see Goldwater won so many towns while getting literally destroyed statewide.

Lots of ethnic voting - kinda like Alabama, except it's WASPs and they vote Republican.  Still a lot of that today, although still not as much as there was in '64.  1992/1996 are special cases since liberal WASP Republicans voted heavily Perot, while Bush and Dole did relatively "well" among Catholics compared to Goldwater.

Cool! (and yes, that is Wallace winning Boston...)

Carter doesn't break 60 in Boston (or Newton, or Brookline).  lol

Looks like Hillary won all Silber towns except Boston, Monterey, and Somerville (Boston and Somerville were both won by Obama by only 5 points).

In the general Obama won all Silber towns except Millville, Northbridge, and Uxbridge (which were all very narrow victories for McCain).

Back to the Bay State for a bit.

Long endorsed Harding in 1920.  A rare two-FF election.

Wait... the Democratic-Republican party still existed in New Hampshire?

(I'm guessing it's something else but still...)
