That there is such a visceral feeling of loathing from red staters towards Blue states, particularly New England.

And I hear this from both Dems and Reps in Red states.

Their mantra is that no candidate from New England (especially Massachussetts) can or should be elected President, because they are "elitists" and out of touch with supposed "mainstream" America.

Bullshit. THis is just Republican anti-intellectual, anti-education propoganda that Republicans have spewed for years that has now been adopted by Red state Democrats.

New England has every right, and is actually long overdue, to elect a national leader. New England has the lowest divorce rate in the nation, so the Southern and Midwestern "Moral Elitists" (which is what I think we should start calling them) could actually learn something about real family values from New Englanders.

Let's stop playing this divisive game that the Republicans invented. We're all Democrats, whether living in red or blue states, and we should be helping each other to elect the best possible candidates given the circumstances of where we live.
