Honestly, governors in deep red/blue states of the opposite party seem to end up being quite popular. They're constrained by the state legislature from doing anything too radical and more or less are forced to work with them. Brad Henry, Dave Fruedenthal, Kathleen Sebelius, Jodi Rell, Mike Beebe etc were all popular.
Yep. Charlie Baker disowned the national GOP before the election and talks like an open-minded technocrat. He'll do fine and probably win reelection easily in 2018.
Now is anyone still believing the Democrats, with President Obama, were seriously pissed over having lost those 2014 midterms?
