Depends how you mean it.<BR/><BR/>Massachusetts (I have never been to Northampton) is liberal in the sense that it voted for Dukakis, illiberal in the sense of the racism in Southie or, perhaps, that it voted for Romney.<BR/><BR/>What does it mean that two 'liberal' states elected Republican governors?
