Republican gubernatorial candidate Charlie Baker has a nine point lead over Democratic rival Martha Coakley in the latest Boston Globe/SocialSphere. Nine points.

A RINO. A conservative wouldn’t win in Taxachusetts.
I am not a fan of Charlie Baker.
Both Baker and Coakley are essentially Democrats
I agree. Baker is no one to cheer for. On the other hand, Coakley is a staggeringly bad candidate.
And this from the Boston Globe!
I don't live in Mass. so I really don't GAFF. If they want to elect an iguana with an (R) after their name, doesn't bother me. As long as it's not a Democrat.
Moderate R leads far left D in Mass?
I’ll take a moderate republican over a liberal demo everyday. Yeah, it’s not ideal but it sure is a better option.
I was told she has a TV ad where a female voice says Baker is “for the old boys club” and an image of men is presented while Coakley is “for us” with an image of females shown. If true, imagine the uproar is a male voice siding with a conservative candidate said a female liberal Dem was for “the girls.” Maybe even in Mass., people can see the double standard and the perhaps eventual Victimization Tour of 2016.
Baker is essentially a RAT but Coakley is most certainly a Marxist.
I DO NOT like Baker (my posting history backs this), but this is a case of going with the candidate I’ll agree with 20% of the time vs. the candidate that would imprison me for being a Christian white male if she could.
I’m voting against Coakley, period.
Coakley isn’t any kind of an ideologue, she’s just a hack. She doesn’t believe in anything, she just wants to get elected. Baker at least seems to believe in something, other than his own ambition.
With the flood of these kinds of articles, you can bet the union Neanderthals are racking up some big time overtime filling out ballots for the DemocRATS.
Me too and I live in MA. Baker has a good rating from the NRA.
Coakley thinks she’s entitled to all these government jobs.

I would rather have a candidate elected that I agree with 70% of the time vs someone I agree with 0% of the time.
Frankly, I am more interested in senate races in states that I have never spent much time in as that is where the nations fate will be decided.
I did read that Coakley recently again defended the practice of providing drivers licenses to illegal aliens. If that is not political hemlock at this time, then nothing is for democrats in this screwy state.
Her losing over just that would possibly not surprise me, but whatever, I almost always get to vote for the loser here.

Some here on FR have the my way or the hi-way attitude.

And they’re part of the reason the dems currently control the senate.
I’m in the same boat, Bruce Rauner is a corrupt liberal, but Pat Quinn is maybe the 2nd worst Governor in state history, and in this state that’s saying a lot, SOB has got to go.
Exactly.
You need to not lose battles once in a while to win a war.
