1. Patrick might just survive

[Mass]

2. It may be time to rise Baker's negatives. Baker is big business personified.

Hard to see why his favorables are so high. We should know by now that people like Romney or Baker dont help the state.

This said, good to see that Patrick is still ahead.

3. Given his approval rating in this Ras poll (56%) do you think Obama could do any good

if he came to campaign for Patrick? I guess it didn't do your senate candidate much good last year.
