Holy endorsements, Batman. First it was the Denver Post endorsing Gardner and now the Boston Glove endorsing Baker. The authorities in hell must be issuing parkas.
Don't get too excited, though, for after all this is the People's Republic of Massachusetts.
"Baker splits from the national Republican Party on social issues such as abortion rights and same-sex marriage. The commitment he expresses to avoid raising taxes shouldn’t be mistaken for an allergy to the public sector; Baker spent the formative years of his career deep in the weeds of government — first as secretary of health and human services under Governor William Weld and then secretary of administration and finance under Weld and Governor Paul Cellucci. In those years, he learned how agencies work (or don’t) and how budgets are balanced (or not)."
"Perhaps ironically, in light of their differing partisan affiliations, Baker’s candidacy offers an opportunity to consolidate some of the advances made during the administration of Deval Patrick. Baker could be counted on to preserve and extend educational reforms, to ensure the rigorous administration of new funds for transportation, to knowledgeably oversee the cost-containment law now reshaping the state’s signature health care industry. At a difficult inflection point in state government, Massachusetts needs a governor who’s focused on steady management and demonstrable results."
Thus the Globe expresses its hope this RINO will serve merely as a competent administrator and will consolidate and expand the collectivist polices which already dominate in this loser of a state.
