A republican wouldn't be elected even if there was an election. This is for all intents and purposes a one party state and has been for years. True, Mass has elected Republican governors in the past but that was just the electorate trying to stick it to the politicians. But with open primaries the local GoP is never going to nominate their best possible candidate anyways so all they get is a Mitt Romney.
