Massachusetts

Outlook: Solid Democratic

12 Electoral Votes (12 in 2000)
Kerry won in 2004 by 25.16%

In 2004, Republicans were subjected to a 25 percent defeat by John Kerry in this Blue bastion. All ten of the Bay State’s congressmen are Democrats, as are both of its senators and Governor Deval Patrick. Given the considerable unpopularity of the current administration in this Northeast state, it is hard to imagine the GOP having any chance in a state which has not chosen a Republican presidential candidate since the landslide of 1984.
