WBUR considers the 37% turnout (98,000 votes) for professional hater Scott Lively in the Republican gubernatorial primary, interviews a leader of a pro-Trump group that the vote might be more of a sign of support for Trump than an endorsement of Lively's campaign to blame everything from the biblical flood to the Holocaust on gays. Then again, she also wonders if Baker is actually a Democratic plant.

I bet that nearly everyone knows where those 21 Scott Lively voters live, and avoid them as much as possible.

It made me laugh . sort of

I bet you're right. I don't know if this stat has been posted to the Facebook community space page but boy oh boy it would raise a ruckus.

The ones that freak out if you step aside on a crowded sidewalk and touch their gravel.
That's two.
Remember Larry Craig's wide stance?

Some people have a struggle to reconcile their political beliefs and their private lives.
I don't know how to tell you this, but...

...not everyone in Provincetown is gay.
Although if you want to see the most pathetically comical straight-people behavior anywhere, just go to P-town.
Lively spent almost zero, came within 14%

You can tell Baker was very scared when he began spending money on TV ads and daily mailings. I must have gotten fifty. I mailed the donation envelopes back empty. Great for Dr. Lively earning 37%. At least Dr. Lively made Baker spend a small fortune.
Baker will probably be ok in the final but just as I predicted with Pressley, if Hernandez runs on a far left platform, raising taxes, sanctuary state, eliminate ICE, impeach Trump, Hernandez, like Pressley has a chance in a very low turnout.
No Trump Republicans or Unenrolled voters will vote for Baker. A trooper friend at the State House tells me Internal polling for Baker is terrible. If the Dems can "get out the vote" Hernandez has an outside chance, although you couldn't get a better Democrat than Baker.
I don't think you know how this works

Campaign donations must be spent or donated. When someone spends big towards the election, it's not a sign that they're "scared"; it's a sign that they are spending money that they were going to lose anyway. And why not? For someone like Baker, who certainly isn't threatened by Lively, it helps him get his message out there beyond the scope of the inbred Republican primary.
Ooh, big bold move, Fish. That'll show 'em. You twit.
"Internal polling" where? By whom?
Yup. You really are an idiot.
