WELCOME TO 2018, MASSACHUSETTS.  It's great to be back from vacation and back in your inbox. As Massachusetts plunges into the new year, these questions are top of mind in state politics: How's Baker going to handle 2018? -  Gov.  Charlie Baker  enters his reelection year still riding high atop the polls. He remains the most popular governor in the country, and enjoys nearly 30-point leads over any Democratic gubernatorial challengers according to most recent polling. Can Baker hold the line with restive conservatives in Massachusetts, keep a positive working relationship with Democrats, and maintain both his distance from - and connections to - national Republicans to lock down the votes he needs to win a second term?
