Has anybody here actually READ what Baker's campaign is saying?

[merrily]

7. "Why isn't the Coakley campaign and the Democratic Party of Mass taking him apart on these issues?"

A most excellent question, and one you would think both Coakley and the Mass. Dem. Party would have answered before now. Like at least four years before now.

However, that is water under the very beautiful Charlestown Bridge.

Right now, the only important issue is keeping Baker and his Wall Street vs. Main Street war away from the golden dome.

And, btw, please, remember: the Governor gets to appoint people to the SJC and also gets to appoint US Senators, should one of ours be unable or unwilling to serve out his or her term. That makes the appointee the incumbent and the incumbent ALWAYS has an advantage. As we know, it was the SJC, not Mitt Romney and not even our Democratic state legislature that created equal marriage in this country. (Our legislature was going to convert the SJC's decision to civil union until BOTH pro-LGBT forces and RW religious forces protested that move.) So, even though our Democratic legislature can still override gubernatorial vetoes, Mitt lite Baker still presents a clear and present danger to Massachusetts.

Thanks for this thread JDD and belated welcome to DU.
