What you left out, and the thing that kind of slowed down the growth of traditional tech in Mass was the biotech sector getting trillions of dollars and leasing every available office space all the way out to 495. I haven't looked recently but at one point, there had to have been a thousand biotech startups in Cambridge alone.It doesn't get as much media attention as SF since the focus is not on things like social media sites with no actual profits to speak of, and is usually on actual serious things like finance, robotics, business software, cryptography, R&D and that kind of thing.
And, as you said, nobody without experience in the major population centers of the state has a chance in hell of getting a national seat. You see plenty of moonbats crop up as state reps but even most of them have a JD and some time on a city council or school board before running.
