and yes, this is from the delusional right wing Boston Herald:
Republican hopes for retaking control in Washington, D.C., will rely heavily on a red tide in bluest New England, according to GOP bigwigs, who today are showcasing one of their leading White House hopes New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who doubles as a poster child for breaking the Democratic vise grip.
You cant be a national party if youre not competitive in New England, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said yesterday after kicking off the partys Seaport summer powwow at the Westin Waterfront, where Christie, a moderate Northeastern governor who famously embraced President Obama, is due to speak today.
We need more red in New England if were going to be a serious national party, Priebus said. Thats part of being here, too, to show support absolutely (after the marathon bombings), thats when the decision was made for Boston and New England. But theres also a longer-term vision that no part of the country should ever be written off, and you have to compete every year.
Pulling that off in deep-blue New England, party operatives say, will take a louder ground game and a greater social media presence to attract young voters.

every now and then the Red Sox and Pats wear red uniforms - that's probably as good as it will get

So, count me unconvinced.
Good luck with that, losers.
