Charlie Baker emailed supporters on Thursday to offer his first comments on his loss to Governor Deval Patrick Tuesday.
Baker cited a series of factors that caused his defeat, including the competition offered by his opponents, increased turnout of Democrats, and a backlash against the expected success of Republicans nationwide. He thanked supporters and didn't say what he'd do now.

God love the Herald. The paper highlighted reader comments from last week's Friday Throwdown on Bostonherald.com. To nobody's surprise, Boston Herald readers seem to not support Barney Frank. They back Sean Bielat. Stunning!
On Monday's Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert's "Threat Down" bit touched on the Cambridge's decision to honor a Muslim holiday by closing for one day beginning next year. As expected Colbert's satirical punditry poked fun at the controversy.

Rhode Island is a nice, plucky state. Bostonist loves to have the Ocean State in our neighborhood. It beats having Florida's panhandle on the southern border. But, recent headlines emanating from Rhode Island have resulted in a resounding "HUH?" from this Bostonist. Rhode Island is having an identity crisis and it's time for an intervention.
For a while, it seemed safe to have opinions about overprotected, pasty professional jaw-flapper Bill O'Reilly. Stephen Colbert won awards for it. But local CN8 host Barry Nolan from "Backstage" just got canned for it.

Update: No winner for the Democrats yet, which makes CNN look bad because they were calling it for Obama all day.
--Now that Spatch has been rooming with a CW celebrity, perhaps he thought that another CW reality show, the mother-daughter beauty pageant extravaganza Crowned, might be as good. He was wrong. [Derspatchel]
The Five Brothers, aka Mitt Romney's kids who all blog for Dad, are toothy, cute, and so wholesome it could make your brain bleed. They strike us as mostly harmless sorts who just want to tell the world how cool their Dad is. But they do not, under any circumstances, need to be playing touch football with streamers dangling around their butts. The Team Romney football game marks the second time that Bostonist has seen...
Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick has endorsed Democrat Barack Obama for president. He made the leap early, and it's a little surprising given that Patrick worked for the Clinton Administration. Obviously, Patrick is a plum catch for any politician running for office. A good word from him can mean a lot. Patrick's decision gives Obama access to the Massachusetts political treasure chest and gives him a publicity boost for the primaries in New Hampshire. It also...
The Apples in Stereo will be at the Middle East Downstairs tonight at 8:00 pm.
Just as former Massachusetts governor and current presidential aspirant Mitt Romney tries to disengage himself from another man's sex scandal, he makes himself sexier in an ad that features him in jogging shorts. The ad crosscuts between shots of Romney jogging and shots of his various achievements. Of course, his handlers help him achieve the perfect balance of cute but nonthreatening. His jogging duds hang loose on his body, and he looks like any other...
With the warmer weather, we found ourselves thinking of ice cream. Of course, we could always go for Toscanini's or JP Licks, but we've been waiting for a treat to show up in our grocery freezer - the Stephen-Colbert-inspired Ben & Jerry's flavor "AmeriCone Dream."
Valentine's Day is only a few days away, and we here across the network wanted to express would like to tell you, in the spirit of the holiday, just how much we love you, our readers. Don't let it get to your heads, though. There are plenty of things we love, you included. Just be glad you're not amongst the things we hate. SFist saw their beloved mayor enter rehab, and they loved the opportunity...
While we're waiting to see BU and BC face off in the Beanpot next Monday night, we gotta make do with what we have - the Bruins and the Celtics. Aw, that's not fair. The Bruins won one against the Washington Capitals last night in a shootout. It was the night of a thousand shootouts across the NHL (actually, five shootouts), and the Bruins enjoyed one of the victories. And who scored the winning goal?...
We know the Herald meant well with the following headline: "Lowell Carpenter Nails Alleged Perv." In short, a good Samaritan who happened to be a carpenter stopped another guy from romancing himself in front of little children at the ice roller rink. Nice pun, Herald.
Ned Lamont has bounced back from Joe-Mentum by accepting a spot at Harvard.
We've embedded this super long above discussion from Google Video here because the real video stream from the KSG presentation is being finicky and we'd have to upgrade our flash player to actually see the clips on the Comedy Central Colbert page.
In a world where there's nothing to do but watch movies. In a city full of theaters, museums, and libraries. One moviegoer who can be in three places at once. Friday 7/14 They Came Back (Les Revenants) The dead return by the thousands, but they're the French dead: their hunger is existential. (American and Italian zombies, with traditional brain-eating values, will return next weekend.) Museum of Fine Arts, Remis Auditorium 6 pm, $10 They Came...
Like most people, we start to get a little sleepy when politicians start talking. We tend to doze off completely when politicians start talking about their books. And we just pass out cold when politicians start talking about a book that has "America" in the title. So we really can't recall much of what Ted Kennedy had to say about his book "America: Back on Track" last night on "The Daily Show". Usually we skip...
