Alex Beam notes in the Globe that Romney's new look is almost Reagan-esque. Except Romney is no Ronald Reagan.
Fox's Joe Battenfield has more about Walshgate. Apparently, if John Walsh reaches 1000 followers, he'll let people know who he was sending that tweet to.
The AP's Glen Johnson reports on one of Scott Brown's first tasks as US Senator (R-MA).
Although Brown's tax cut amendment failed, Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) voted for it, according to the Globe's Matt Viser.
The AP reports that the Shawmut Team, the group responsible for Brown's campaign strategy, will be heading to Rhode Island to try and capture the same success for John Loughlin, who is running as a Republican to replace Patrick Kennedy.
Governor Patrick argues that President Obama's low approval has more to do with the current economy than anything else, according to Fox.
Meanwhile, in other Pro-Bama news, Conor Yunits reports that ten state legislators have written a letter urging the President to push reconciliation. Yunits points out that this is bizarre if you take into account the political ramifications of Brown's election as a referendum on healthcare. You know. If Brown's election was a referendum on healthcare.

Patrick attended the GoingGreen event, asking green companies to come to Massachusetts, reports Christine McConnville in the Herald.
Governor Patrick also attended a fishing industry conference in New Bedford. Fox reports on the conference. Patrick is asking regulators to use new technology to better count fish so he can make a decision regarding the industry, according to the Globe's Brian Ballou.
Patrick attackdog Lt. Gov. Tim Murray goes after Charlie Baker again, this time attacking Baker's claim that public sector managers haven't taken furloughs. The AP reports.
The Mihos campaign is in its last throes, it seems. The Globe's Casey Ross questions whether voters will trust Christy Mihos with their money, considering his campaign's financial woes. If that weren't bad enough, Mihos's campaign manager bailed on him. The Cape Cod Times's Jake Berry suspects the departure may have been related to unpaid salary. I'm sure Mr. Mihos will have no trouble finding a campaign manager who doesn't care that he didn't get a paycheck this week.
GOP Senators are arguing for more controls over the Lawrence bailout, reports the AP. Fox's Bob Ward has more in an interview with Senate Minority Leader (and Republican candidate for lieutenant governor) Richard Tisei.
On the subject of casinos, the Herald's Joe Fitzgerald notes that something is desperately wrong when the state has a vested interest in her citizens' misery.
Joe Dwynell and Hillary Chabot report in the Herald that the state government is continuing to buy back unused vacation time to an alarming figure, despite Gov. Patrick's rumblings about stopping this. One notable beneficiary is Doug Rubin, a former Patrick Chief of Staff.
The Globe's Andrea Estes reports pension abuse in Bristol County jails.
A candidate for the Brown seat has run into some signature trouble just one day before the deadline (end of business today), reports the Globe's Lisa Kocian. I'd hate to be the guy who made that oversight on the signature form, but candidates should never stop right when they reach the required amount of signatures. It's always nice to have extra.
The AP reports that MassDOT will be investigating troublesome Big Dig handrails.
And there may be good news for Democrats (and Patrick) this November: AP reports that a new poll shows that blacks are more likely to vote than before Obama's election, even with Obama not on the ballot.
Adam Gaffin reports on efforts by the City Council to discourage illegal dumping in Boston.
The Globe's Andrew Ryan has more information on potential library closings in Boston.
On a final note, Mayor Menino is finally doing something about the large swathe of wasteland in Downtown Crossing, or the DTX, as the cool kids may or may not call it. I've never been accused of being cool. Thomas Grillo and Frank Quaratiello report in the Herald that Menino is threatening eminent domain, which allows the government to seize any property it wants to. WCVB notes that this move comes after the developer let slip that he let another development in New York go un-developed to get more money from the city.
Kiddies, if you're going to call something the nuclear option, it should be eminent domain.
