A Liberal from Massachusetts, in many ways the most liberal state in the United States. It is the only state where it is a crime, with a mandatory prison sentence of at least one year, for transporting a lawfully owned gun for a lawful purpose in an automobile without a special permit. Out-of-state drivers traveling to hunting or gun competitions in the Northeast have to choose between going hours out of their way to avoid Massachusetts, or spending hours attempting to obtain a permit.
Massachusetts is also the only state that has same-sex marriage. Two of the most liberal senators in the entire U.S. Senate, Teddy Kennedy and John Kerry, represent Massachusetts.
John Kerry lost by millions of votes nationwide in the 2004 election against George W. Bush, yet Kerry won Massachusetts by a margin of about 62-38%.
