Imagine how non-Democrats have felt all these years

IN HIS letter to the editor (“ ‘All’ of Mass. not ready to throw support his way,’’ Jan. 22), Mark Bridger writes, “Although Scott Brown won the election, there is a large chunk of Bay Staters he doesn’t seem to represent.’’ Well, yes. That would be roughly the same chunk of Bay Staters who are represented by the other 11 of our 12 representatives in Congress. How do you think non-Democrats felt during the decades that we went without any representation at all? Based on the election results, it seems that 52 percent of the people of Massachusetts now have one representative, and 47 percent have 11 representatives. When it gets to be six and six, then Democrats can start to complain.
