A meaningful debate about Massachusetts will take intelligence and courage

The Phoenix > The Editorial Page > Patrick's opponents: "Charlie Baker, former head of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care and onetime finance chief for governors William Weld and Paul Cellucci, was scheduled to file papers this week to officially open his gubernatorial campaign. With that, he also unofficially kicks off the 2010 Massachusetts election season.

Baker does so with the tailwind of a stunning Boston Globe poll, reported this past Sunday, that showed widespread disenchantment with Governor Deval Patrick. Also hoping to take advantage of Patrick's blues are supermarket tycoon Christy Mihos, who has announced his second run at the office, this time as a Republican, and State Treasurer Tim Cahill, who is widely expected to announce his Independent candidacy later this summer."
