There isn't one. Any state that would keep sending that fat drunk Ted Kennedy to Washington doesn't have a conservative town.

I'm not from Mass but live there now and frankly cannot believe how conservative the state is on the whole. Although very liberal in terms of party affiliation (which means very little) and on some social issues (such as homosexual marriage), the state on the whole is intensely conservative. Remember they elected Republican governors from Dukakis until Patrick got elected this year (that is an impressive string). More importantly, the parochial puritanical laws still exist and are actively supported.

Coming from out west that pretty much abandoned the blue laws in the 1990s, it was a shock this recent election when the voters of Mass voted in large numbers to prevent convenience stores from being able to sell wine/beer. This is just one example of the very conservative undercurrent of Massachusetts. Although they are considered a democratic stronghold, it seems that this is more a result of habit than an ideological affinity.

I have heard vague, unsubstantiated rumors there is this one tiny, little burg, hidden along the winding roads of the rural Massachusettes countryside, where they don't refer to Ted Kennedy as "His Lordship".

It is an irony to me the the place where partiipatory government and democracy got its foothold in America, New England, is now detested as "liberal".

If there ever were any, I'm sure they moved en masse to Ohio quite some time ago.
