So, the even number is among registered voters, and among likely voters, Baker leads 2-1?
Gee, Obama is Deval Patrick’s BFF! Maybe he’ll come to MA to campaign for him! We can only hope. Maybe we’ll sweep ‘Marcia’ Coakley out of the attny. general’s office too. Next we target John ...did you know he served in Vietnam?...Kerry. When Kerry was ‘courting’ John Heinz’s widow, the Washington Post social column said he was ‘stalking’ her and facing bankruptcy. Now he’s the richest man in the senate. Who knew.
If Pravda-By-The-Charles says it’s even that means that Baker’s up by 10 points!! Looks like DNC Headquarters’ plan to offer Cahill a judgeship or a lucerative lobbying gig if he pretended to leave the RAT Party and then pretend to be to Coupe Deval’s right has failed.Last January was the first time in mmany,*many* years that I was even a *little* proud of being a Gay Stater....perhaps this November will be the second.
Since this comes from the Globe things must really be tough for Patrick. The Globe published a poll a week or so before the senate election last January showing Coakley with an insurmountable lead over Scott Brown. Didn’t quite turn out that way.
OTOH, I'm very excited about the congressional races. We have 12 dems in 12 seats. It's been that way for a loooong time. I'm hoping that we pick up three of them.
I tend in a working, union, biker bar. Not one of the lockstep Democrat union guys are going to vote again for Patrick. Old Pawn Shop Deval’s next job is making corporate contacts in a high Fedgov job in the last two years of the Obamanation.
Interesting poll. Hope it bears fruit this November.

The Scott Brown campaign didn't catch fire until the final 3-4 weeks.
Most voters in Massachusetts still do not know who Charlie Baker is. Though a lot of them know that they do not want another four years of Deval Patrick, so that's a good thing Baker has going for him.
This whole Tom Cahill candidacy is a smokescreen to get Patrick re-elected. However, it looks like it's not working and Cahill's top campaign workers are now leaving the campaign. Cahill is a Democrat through-and-through and an ally of Deval Patrick, no matter what he says on the campaign trail.
Charlie Baker is no prize package either, but like with Scott Brown, it's much better than the alternative and it will be nice to defeat the Democrat machine once again.
With respect to converting Massachusetts into a red state, it's a long-term proposition. Baby steps...
sounds like Marcia Croakley should do campaign appearances with Deval Patrick so they can boost each other
