Baker would’ve been a disaster, anyway, so it’s good he lost, but the rest of the races were a damn shame. It also shows how weak the MA GOP is in even mounting campaigns (we won more races in TN tonight by accident than on purpose). It will be interesting to see if the GOP made any gains in the General Court, I haven’t seen any vote totals. Rhode Island, sadly, isn’t any better. The ultraleft Chafee was the worst of the 3 candidates running for Governor, and we failed to pick up Paddy’s seat.
Bye Chuck Baker - for sure. The rest of the slate though - tough losses.
DJ-You did well in TN.
Impy-Kirk and maybe Brady. A good number of House seats.
Per Howie Carr, 3 minutes ago:
MA General Court:
GOP in the House 16 to 32 seats (+16)
GOP in the Senate 5 to 4 (-1, Tisei’s seat)
+16 seats in the House - wow!
