Massachusetts had once been a breeding ground for presidents. But after Mitt Romney’s failure to unseat Barack Obama, it now looks more like a graveyard for White House aspirations.
Romney on Tuesday became the third straight major-party nominee from the Bay State, after John Kerry in 2004 and Michael Dukakis in 1988, to lose his bid for the presidency.

This is a "woe is me" article. There are 50 states and only 44 Presidents so far. We've had more than our share. Because of repeating states, like Massachusetts, most states have had none, zero. Are we supposed to feel deprived?
Now I'm going to have that Warren Zevon song stuck in my head all night.
