Deval Patrick’s Election Day Message:
Poll Analysis from Jessica Van Sack:
http://www.bostonherald.com/news/politics/view.bg?articleid=1288667
Definitely not a good poll for Baker, but not as negative as many are saying. Can’t say I disagree with Van Sack, fallout from Cahill collapse appears to be helping Patrick.
Question 3, cutting sales tax to 3%: Support: 44%, Oppose: 49%
Question 1, repeal alcohol sales tax: Repeal: 46%, Maintain: 47%

Hector has another long and extremely informative interview with Charlie Baker. They go over tax cuts and the impact on the economy, especially on small business. Baker talks about how there are two sets of rules – where the regular people have had to make tough choices and accept lower earnings, while the state has continued to give itself budget increases and pay raises.
Baker makes two pledges:
- He will not raise taxes
- He will never cut local aid
Baker says that in the last election Patrick made three promises that he has not kept:
- That he would cut property taxes
- put 1000 new cops on the street
- make no cuts to local aid
“Those are big promises that haven’t been kept.”

The Massachusetts Democratic Party has been developing a new web site about Charlie Baker called Charlie Baker’s World. It’s a pretty funny take at attacking Charlie Baker. They have been collecting a lot of the funnier anti-Baker virals running around the net, and making some of their own. Definitely worth taking a look at.

Massachusetts’ voters are purportedly all fired up and eager to throw out all the incumbents this November – but not the MassGOP. Its concentration is on the top-tier offices of governor, light governor, a smattering of other constitutional state offices and a couple of congressional seats – just not the state Legislature.
The absurdity that gubernatorial candidate and health care multi-millionaire Charlie Baker and his new BFF and former New York political operative and now MassGOP leader, Jennifer Nassour, is proposing, is to get the top ticket jobs and worry about the state’s House and Senate seats two years from now – when he will be just another lame duck (if he wins). He’ll never be able to sustain a veto (if he wins) – just like his Democrat predecessor, DeFault Patrick (if he loses); and all those before him. All of our recent governors have been woeful pawns to the whims of the Legislature, so why is no one aiming to control it instead of the Corner Office? Must be the drapes – yeah… that’s it – they like the drapes.
