I am working from home since pandemic started and was listening all Baker & Polito presentations (YouTube) ... and read comments in media. They took so much heat ... and are probably exhausted.

Ben Downing would be interesting. Don't know if he could fundraise eastern mass well enough.

Polito seems near universally despised as being shady as bleep with the Worcester area moderate conservatives I know well enough.

My daughter picked me up at Logan this afternoon and we were driving on the expressway and there was a big neon sign at the union in Dorchester (IBEW, I think) "Thank You Charlie Baker". We wondered what he was being thanked for and who was doing the thanking. Now I know.

Just listened to Sonia Chang-Díaz and of course she blamed Baker for not reacting to Covid quickly, not making lockdowns stricter, shots mandates and green passports.

Dowing said that Baker wasn’t interested in climate and some other progressive issues.

Allen sounded a bit saner… but Harvard professor?! (No disrespect to this fine university)

I'm starting to read that Marty Walsh might be pressured to run. That might screw things up though with the Biden white house. I don't see how Marty could win beyond eastern mass. How can he campaign for governor and continue to be the labor secretary.. at the same time..

I can't see that much of anyone from the past coming back.. then again what ever happened to Jane Swift ?

I can't for the life of me understand how climate change is a progressive issue.

But then again I can't understand it with covid or environmental conservation either (especially since the latter used to be front and center with the country's conservative party as it was a sporting community issue).

This all but assures the next governor will be a Democrat.

Sane people want to build nuclear power plants, especially in developing nations that produce more pollution in a month than US produces in a year. Progressives(tm) want to spend trillions of dollars developing a portable cow fart purifier to attach to every cow.

There’s a lot more to MA than just Boston and camberville, we might end up with Diehl if the other choice is some communist cosplay defundie whackadoo so Walsh makes perfect sense.
