Charlie Baker (R-MA) of the 70% favor ability for Governor. I don't think so....

Baker has bragged that he has the highest favor ability rating of any Governor in the country. Well, OK. But during a debate he had trouble saying weather or not he would vote for Senator Elizabeth Warren's opponent in the upcoming election His name is withheld but he is a trumpster clown. The next day he releases a statement that says he is voting a straight repuke ticket. So, Baker the Faker is now running ads from Democrats that say they are voting for Baker. But Baker spits in their faces saying he is voting straight repuke ticket. Today, the day before the election his says he has taken a bipartisan approach to government which makes no sense for someone voting a straight repuke ticket. he is spitting in the face of voters. he can take his favor ability rating and shove it. I am not voting for him. he is a no vision guy.

I don't think he's been particularly effective with the problems on the MBTA, but that has always been a problem here.

On the other hand, Charlie's has reached his ceiling, I think. No way will Trump primary voters ever consider him for Federal Office. Democrats won't vote for him either for Federal Office.

He will easily win, Mass (New England for that matter) often elects Republican governors. Apparenty we have a thing for divided government.

That being I don’t, and I voted for Gonzalez.

His dancing around the Geoff Diehl question was very stupid, and he lost points with the MSP scandal. Even at that, he is still on top of the heap.
