As much as people generally don't like "The Beacon Hill Crowd", I think most find the jokes & jabs that land successfully an amazing and redeeming piece of the local political landscape. With this decision, Baker is earning a reputation as a humorless corporate type with a metaphorical glass jaw. Losing to Patrick in this economy will be a tough job, but he's making a good start with this decision.;-) Baker is about to be introduced to the voters of the Commonwealth as that “upper class stiff who can’t take a joke”.

My impression of Baker is that he sees this as beneath him. It's not the way to attract voters in an area with strong turnout and conservative views.
