I wouldn't be so sure, lots of people in MA are REALLY tired of this crap, and they have the same problem as states like Colorado, Illinois, and Nevada. You have a single large city/metropolitan area (Denver, Chicago, Lad Vegas, and Boston), that more or less controls the entire state. So long as you can cheat enough in that single large metro, then the state "appears blue". I'm not saying boston isn't full of crack head liberals, but I don't think the state as a whole is actually blue. If NY and CA aren't blue, then MA isn't either.
