The primary still hasn't been held, yet. Marsha Coakley would only be endangered for Governor only because she lost the Senate special. Baker is a Willardbot, so my endorsement goes to Mark Fisher in the primary and Scott Lively, an Independent Conservative, in the general. As I've said for over a decade now, the MA Governorship is a useless office for a Republican. Not until they increase their numbers in the legislature to the point they can sustain a veto will that change.

I’m surprised she’s expected to win the rat primary so easily.

I’d be interested to see if the GOP can be competitive in the open races for AG and Treasurer.

I know it’s Mass but I would cackle hard if she managed to lose again.......

While a Republican governor of MA has very little power so long as Democrats have supermajorities in both houses, I would posit that Deval Patrick appointed ultraliberal Mo Cowan to the Senate when Kerry resigned, and he served for 5 and 1/2 months, where he voted 100% liberal, while a Scott Brown type appointed by a Republican would have voted 70% conservative. And Baker’s Supreme Court nominees wouldn’t be as bad as Coakley’s. Plus, the MA governor still has some power, like the time that Romney blocked the performance of same-sex “marriages” for non-residents (there was a 19th century law limiting marriage to residents, but a Democrat governor would have ignored the law or “interpreted” it differently. While I wouldn’t give a red cent to a RINO such as Baker for the governorship, I would prefer him in office to Coakley, and thus would vote for him instead of nominating a nobody with no chance of winning the general or voting for an independent with no chance of winning.
