With the latest poll showing him within striking distance, GOP gubernatorial candidate Charlie Baker hopes a shot of U.S. Sen. Scott Browns star power combined with a bid to revive outrage over a welfare abuse scandal will drive supporters to the polls and push him over the top in a neck-and-neck race with Gov. Deval Patrick.
Im thrilled to have a chance to campaign with (Brown). . . . I think its going to be the kind of thing thats going to help us close the deal for Tuesday, Baker said yesterday at a campaign event outside South Station.
The latest Rasmussen poll released yesterday gave Deval Patrick 46 percent, while Baker got 44 percent a statistical tie within the polls margin of error. Independent Tim Cahill remained a distant third with six percent. A Statehouse News Service poll gave Patrick 40 percent and Baker had 37 percent, also statistical a dead heat, while Cahill lagged at 9 percent.
Baker, seeking to tap the same disenfranchised voters that handed Brown a victory in January, touted todays planned trip with the rock-star senator from Foxboro through central and western Massachusetts. Meanwhile, Baker hammered Patrick again on taxes and welfare abuses.

Not that i am crazy about Charlie...but he is about six foot five... thus the pose.
Actually, Massachusetts has had quite a few Republican governors over the past two decades.
The real miracle would be to make a significant dent in the overwhelming Democrat majority in the State House. There’s something like 15 Republicans out of 120 Senators and Reps.
They are all hacks, of course (except mine). /s
thanks, but I was really kinda hoping for that Cosmo spread (or whatever magazine it was) of Scott Brown in his younger days!
