By a very large majority in both houses. They have a supermajority in the House, and there are only a few token Republicans in the Senate.
Note that this kicks in not long after a Democrat takes the governorship, making the MA government absolutely dominated by Democrats. The only way Republicans have any influence is to get something the Democrats did declared unconstitutional in state court.
So your metaphor needs changing to reflect the reality of what exceptions would be. It's more likely the Democrats would be specifically tracking Republicans to catch them at gay bath houses.

Mississippi is just general trends. This is the infamous Democratic Machine. It took a big hit in the 80s after Daley's death and still came out as powerful as ever.
It is this machine that produced Obama, that pushed him up through the ranks.

Cisco misused two criminal justice systems to try to ruin a guy's life and pervert justice in the US civil courts. The corporation, and its officers and attorneys individually, will see no criminal penalties whatsoever. The complicit government officials will also face no criminal penalties.
Technically: He won the primary and the election for state senate, the will of the people.
Reality: There is no general election for that seat. The Democrat always wins due to the districting and the power of the Democratic party in that district. Remember, this is Chicago, home of the infamous Democratic machine.
Reality: He was effefctively appointed to the position the first time by the Democratic powers that be.
Reality: The decision of the voters will never remove an incumbent candidate from that seat in the general election against his will. The decision will be made in the Democratic primary, and will be heavily influenced, if not de-facto decided, by the party elite.
It looks like you would think Kim Jong-Il's constant reelection actually reflects the free will of the people too. Technically, it's an election, with 100% turnout and universal suffrage, and his party always seems to stay in power.
"He was the better of the candidates on the ballot in the eyes of electors"
"Only one on the ballot" do you not understand? Even when he was opposed in the general election, people weren't necessarily even voting for him -- they ALWAYS vote the Democrat regardless of the person (ever seen "straight ticket" voting?). Thus for that seat, the only election that matters is the primary.
"Even you admit that Obama was better than McCain/Palin"
No, I don't. I admit that McCain/Palin wasn't a particularly inspiring team. Say what you want about Obama, he did learn to read great teleprompter. His patronizing and vacuous speeches sound better than anybody in a long time.
"You can't judge somebody on what might have happened had circumstances been completely different. You can only judge them on what really did happen"
What did happen is that Obama's mentor effectively willed to him her state senate seat to run for Congress (you can do that in Chicago politics). When she lost her congressional primary she decided she still wanted her state Senate seat. A very ungrateful Obama promptly challenged her signature collection and won, kicking off the ballot the very person who put him on it.
That's the kind of person we have in the Oval Office now. All he had to do was not succeed in his effort to kick her off the ballot, or maybe to be a grateful protege and bow out when his mentor wanted back in, or at least allow a fair contest. No, he was a political animal hungry for power, allegiance meant nothing.
His election was a given every time he ran for state senate, once completely unopposed in both the primary and the general election, and his election to US Senate was seriously in his favor, requiring a major screwup or scandal in order for him to lose.
History would be quite different if he hadn't had his incumbent mentor kicked off the ballot in his first primary, or if he hadn't been in a seat that always went to the Democrat. He would have run, and lost. Then he wouldn't have had the platform to leverage for higher office.
"And he's doing a better job as President than most people who have ever held that office"
If you consider running the country into the ground a good job, then okay. My great-grandkids will be paying for his "vision."
"Anyone who has been in a position of power in a major corporation, anyone who has been in the military, anyone who has been in the financial industry, anyone who has spent too much time in Congress, anyone who has been in the oil industry, almost anyone who is from Texas, or anyone from the MAFIAA. "
I also don't want a community organizer who has no idea how business works in this country; you know, the businesses that employ people and provide the taxes the government runs on in order to support the people Obama actually does know how to work with. Obama hasn't created one job in his entire life. He would be good for the Department of Health and Human Services, no higher.
But you can rest easy knowing Obama has many of your objectionable types running his administration:
-Geithner is a banker -Daley was with JPMorgan Chase -Shinseki was a general and Army Chief of Staff -Panetta is a nine-term Congressman -LaHood seven terms -Kirk is a Texas politician -Obama has put at least five MAFIAA lawyers into top DOJ spots
Plus, Obama has been a member of a racist group (his Chicago church) and an anti-rights group (the Joyce Foundation), two things I consider disqualifications. But my main disqualification is a career politician. Anybody like that is too ingrained in the power politics and status quo. Even worse, someone who has a history of toeing the party line, like Obama (97% party line votes in the Senate, good boy, voting how is superiors tell him to).
"And she's proven to be really good at quitting halfway through. "
Obama quit half way through his Senate term, and was campaigning for President for most of the time he was there. Why don't I see "quitter" applied to him?
He never had to fight for it, never had to prove to the people he was the better person for the job.
It was handed to him all the way up to the end, and then he only had to run against the old codger McCain who couldn't inspire a Muslim to kill a Jew, and the wacko Palin who drove away the moderate Republicans that were McCain's base.
This is a modern 3.1 GHz, dual-core CPU vs..... let's take a Promise SATA RAID card with an Intel 333 controller. That's an 800 MHz ARMv5TE CPU, two ARM generations ago, not even superscalar. The i3 is going to have many cycles to spare after taking the load of three such controllers.
Don't know about your incident, but pairing an Apple BT keyboard with an iMac is brain-dead. It's the same process as pairing a BT PS3 remote or headset with a PS3. However, I do have a problem with my headset losing its pairing.
Pairing PS3 controllers uses a bit of a cheat since plugging it in USB circumvents all the normal BT pairing procedures.

So instead of thinking how we may want our houses different, we need to think of what new technologies will come along and affect how we design our houses.
Think of what will happen when electronically dimmable glass gets cheap and strong enough, and insulating enough, to take the place of most walls. Then you can forget about placement of windows in order to provide light, you can forget shutters, drapes and window shades where you do have windows.
Think of the changes embedded LED lighting will make throughout the house.
