I don’t think Howie agrees with Baker at all on the social issues, just that he’s better for taxpayers than Deval. You know, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
I agree Andy’s Mom - I think Baker is a lot like Weld - who imho is more responsible for same sex marriage in Mass than Romney ever was, in fact he’s worse with Tisei as his running mate.
I do think it is funny that Howie is letting Baker slide with that pick. Maybe he feels quilty about Muffy?
