Everyone in attendance was a Republican.

(10,839 posts)9. Wondered about this so . . .
looked up the delegate results. Charlie Baker, one of those rare moderate Republicans who is actually liked and respected, received 70% of the delegate vote. If the GOP is foolish enough to vote for Lively in the primary then the Governor's house will absolutely go to a Dem. From what I'm reading Lively is one of these firebrand conservative preachers, hardly a match for Blue Mass. But please continue, Republicans. You're dong a fine job of shooting yourselves in the foot.
