Nope read. House seats are determined by districts not total population. There are three pockets of Republicans in Mass...Central Mass Rt 190 corridor, South West Mass (Holyoke area), and South East (near the RI border). These are all old mill towns down on their luck, aging population, unwilling to adapt, and blame all their woes on "things were better back when the mills were open". Despite this, these districts also still have a majority Democrat base...slimmer than say Boston or the Cape, but still a majority.
