The Globe looks at the road to redemption for losers Charlie Baker and Martha Coakley.
Hillary Clinton was in town to rally the troops for Coakley amid bad poll results that Coakley dismisses as "an outlier. Anti-taxers don't like Coakley's thoughts on a graduated income tax.
Baker and Coakley and the other tree debated immigration.
The Herald looks at how the candidates are ready to pounce on each other's iffy claims.
Bill Weld endorsed Democratic state Sen. Richard Moore over his Republican challenger in central Mass.
The Globe urges voters to ditch casinos, which it says have proven to be "a kind of flypaper for low-lifes."

Coakley does have a nasty habit of abusing her office to persecute critics and opponents.

I find it quite ironic how the site's owner sees anyone right of Warren as a scary genetically engineered fusion of Ebola, AIDS, flu and and satan, yet he has absolutely no problem with plastering republican gubernatorial candidate's ads all over his site as long as he gets paid. Liberal hypocrisy at its finest.
You forgot celery

Celery is truly the devil's vegetable. Baker probably eats it all the time.
You chop it up and put it in

You chop it up and put it in tuna fish, don't you? Fun fact , Roche Bros. store brand is the best most tasty canned tuna, the best Jerry , the best.

My wife and daughter can't understand my loathing for the stuff (especially kidlet: "What do you mean you can taste it? It doesn't have any taste!"), but, no, keep your devilstalks away from my tuna fish, please! So, no, I don't tend to get tuna-salad sandwiches when we're out and about.
Then how come I'm getting ads for

Celery?
Seriously, though, my ads are for used cars, as I used this device to search for used cars.
I'll just assume that everyone else is searching for Charlie Baker.

The Baker campaign is paying Google to get ads on Massachusetts Web sites and I run Google ads and that's how they show up on the site. So, yeah, I'm making some money off of Baker, but not enough to gloat about (my Google numbers this month have not jumped dramatically over last month). But I am glad that some people are spending so much time reading the tea leaves that are my one-line links to stories on news sites that they can figure out my political leanings from them. Impressive.
As for being a whore, I wouldn't know. How's your mom?

You know the Democratic party has screwed up when the Globe actually endorses the Republican candidate.

Globe endorsement.
Wow...

I totally did not see this Baker endorsement coming.
Not.
It has been obvious from day 1 that the Globe was shilling for Baker. They only endorsed Coakley for the Dem nomination because they figured she would be easier for Baker to bear than Grossman.
The Globe didn't even endorse
By Marty

The Globe didn't even endorse Coakley in the primary. They went with Grossman then. The Globe has never forgiven Coakley for losing to Brown, so as you said this Baker endorsement is not news to anyone who's been following their coverage. What a coincidence their poll two days before showed a 9 point lead that no other poll has shown!
Faulty memory, I guess....

In any event, there was not one chance in a gazillion that the Globe wasn't going to back Baker. Its coverage has been quite decidedly pro-Baker overall. The poll results did seem a bit fishy. We'll see soon.

fits the bill for what the Globe has been about for 70 years. Highly educated, socially liberal and not Irish Catholic.
