Re a Charlie Baker comeback (WCVB and Globe): I’ll believe it when I see it. First, I think he likes making the big private-sector bucks (though I doubt he enjoys his current NCAA gig as much as he claims). Second, he’s a state government and executive branch/hands-on type of guy, not a U.S. Senate blowhard attending countless committee hearings and issuing press releases about dramatic letters he’s written to evil cabinet members, etc. etc. … And then there’s Ed Markey. Is Baker really going to be the latest pol to underestimate him? I do see some theoretical attractions of Baker possibly making a U.S. Senate bid, including Markey being 80 on election day 2026. But Baker himself would be 70 years old in 2026, so … I do think Baker would be a great fit for president of a local college. Let’s fan that rumor instead. You heard it here first!
