1996 Senate Race: A road map for Scott Brown?

In general, a R wins statewide in MA by... (0.00 / 0)

...keeping the D margin low in strong Boston and strongholds like Cambridge/Somerville/New Bedford/Fall River/Springfield/Brockton/Lawrence; come even in the blue collar conservative areas like Quincy/Lynn/Salem/Lowell and then clean up in the suburbs--particularly the 495 belt.  Not sure why you pulled 1996 out of your hat...although, as I think about it, it was the most recent Presidential election year that had a major R run statewide.  All other R wins state wide occurred in off years or special election.  Given that, '96 does not bode well for this Presidential year.
