Republican gubernatorial hopeful Charlie Baker has picked state Sen. Richard R. Tisei as his running mate, according to his campaign Web site and Facebook page.
An announcement is scheduled for 11 a.m. today at the American Civic Center in Tisei’s hometown of Wakefield, State House News is reporting.
Baker’s campaign manager could not be immediately reached for comment.
“Richard has years of experience fighting for the taxpayer on Beacon Hill and I’m thrilled to have him on the team,” Baker said in a statement posted on his campaign Web site.
The Web page contained on CharlieBaker2010.com included a photo of Tisei and an image of Baker-Tisei 2010 bumper sticker.
Baker and the Senate minority leader will take on convenience store magnate Christy Mihos in the Republican primary. The winner is set to face off against state Treasurer Timothy Cahill and incumbent Gov. Deval Patrick in a three-way contest in 2010.
Tisei, of Wakefield, was elected to the House at age 22, the youngest Republican ever elected to the legislature, according to the Baker campaign Web site.
Baker’s previous offer to run on a ticket with Cahill as lieutenant governor was rejected, the treasurer has said. Tisei was named Baker’s campaign chairman in August.
Have a good time!
I think Baja Sur is the safest state in Mexico.
...and then that dope Baker chooses the hack from Wakefield who still has time to run the family business in a addition to the political and sodomistic tasks. Interesting how things have changed since Governor Reagan dealt with his own deviants by dismissing them. I agree that Deval may pull it out but only because of a dearth of leadership on the GOP side. The GOP’s farm team is weak, to say the least.
I forgot all about him. What is it with the Mass GOP and sodomy?
You are correct, if this doesn’t put the more traditional democrats (Steve Lynch types) into the Cahill camp NOTHING will.
...and that dope Baker will choose a guy who is guaranteed to demoralize conservative republicans. It is a sad state of affairs when the party has more high profile sodomites than it does high profile veterans.
