Here is where I'm torn. I'm a Moderate Dem meaning I usually vote Dem but if a race features a practical pragmatic sensible republican and a radically liberal Dem, I can occasionally vote for the other party. Baker is a perfect candidate for that. I like a lot of what he has done so far. The one thing I don't like though is a big issue for me at the state level: Mass transit, Boston metro has an expansive mass transit system but it needs upgrades all around and there are 2 desperately needed projects (NSRL, Red/Blue connector) and 3 more that are close to desperate (Blue to Lynn, Seaport line, Orange extension) and he has all but declared those projects dead as long as he's in office (Even when he has been lobbied by former GOP governor Bill Weld to support it) and there in lies the dilemma for me. Setti Warren has promised right from jump street these projects will be built. I'll probably vote Baker but on infrastructure, he's a mess.
