FL voters, OH voters, PA voters---voting third party would be, IMO, cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Um, unless I am seriously in error, doesn't Massachusetts have a republicunt governor right now?
Chickens. Eggs. And when to count them.
As I'm sure you know, there's a big difference between state and national elections. Massachusetts is a heavily liberal state when it comes to national elections, but we have a history of electing Republican governors (though they tend to be as left leaning as Republicans get).
That doesn't change the fact that our state senate and representatives are mostly Democrat, or that we haven't voted for a Republican in the presidential election since 1984. In the last 5 elections, the Democrat has obtained at least 59% of the vote.
Also, we're not the only state like this. California is a heavily liberal state, but elected Arnie as governor.
