(135,425 posts)He didn't even live in MA when he was GOVERNOR, fachrissake. As I pointed out in my last comments.
He spent millions running against Shannon O'Brien's disorganized and poorly funded campaign. She was fighting (Dem) enemies on the Hill, MA sexism, AND rMoney's millions.
He "bought" that election in more ways than one.
He tried to bribe the electorate. He told them he would bring jobs, and he didn't -- he fucked them. He was a FAILED one-term governor...one who had a HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION on his house in Utah when he filed his papers in MA.
The fact that the state turned its back on him PROVES my point--he was never "local." He spent all his time in NH. He lied to the people, he used them.
They repaid his perfidy in kind.
Reagan and Nixon WERE Californians--real ones, not Potemkin ones. And I'm betting that California's Military Industrial Complex did VERY WELL INDEED under both of those CinCs.
