Fully Baked Baker Budget

March 5, 2015 By massmarrier 7 Comments

With an ostensible liberal Democratic-controlled General Court, MA remains traditionally fiscally conservative. That's fertile ground for GOP Gov. Charlie Baker to plant his no-new taxes seeds. Thus, most of his first budget proposal likely … [Read more...]

Retrospect: We should have targeted “Big Business” Baker

November 18, 2014 By progressivemax 44 Comments

As I see Baker’s transition team start to come together, it is striking to me how many business executives he is filling his inner circle with. We all knew that Baker is in the pocket of big business. Why didn’t we run on it? The … [Read more...]

Falchuk the Eveready Candidate

September 23, 2014 By massmarrier 31 Comments

Juicing Up the MA GOP

The Patrick-Baker Identity

November 11, 2010 By shirleykressel 18 Comments

During the gubernatorial campaign, I wrote that Deval and Charlie are fundamentally alike; I said that Deval devotees are being blinded by partisan politics and their reluctance to admit they were fooled.  I urged liberals to break out … [Read more...]

Sorry Charlie, it wasn’t Tim’s fault

November 8, 2010 By David 4 Comments

MassINC's post-election poll (PDF) seems to have put the nail in the coffin of the tired idea (still pushed by Howie Carr & Co.) that Charlie Baker would be Governor-elect today, if it weren't for that blasted Tim Cahill. The numbers … [Read more...]
