seem to consist of people whose chief qualification is the need to get out of Dodge in their current jobs.

Don’t take this win for granted even if Patrick should make it through his primaries.

A candidate with high disaprovals can still win if they drum up even higher disaproval numbers for their opponent. Judy Topenka was villified for more than a year before the election in ad after ad. Topenka couldn’t match the spending and lost big to Blago (even though his own party hated him).

Isn’t he rumored to be on Obama’s long list if not the short list?

Huh?

I thought the President was that guy from Chicago. I’m confused…..

That was REALLY creepy–why hasn’t the MSM shown this on prime time? We got ourselves Deval Patrick 2.0!!!!

I live in MA. I cal the govs office once a week to yell at them to tell him NO to the gas tax, it also has a CPI increase built into it. He promised property tax relief and 1,000 police officers on streets of Boston, still waiting, I make sure to mention that I am still waiting for those 1,000 police officers. I yelled last time to tell the poor man that got me that 99% of them are corrupt, will say anything to get elected but do nothing. Deval is one of those 99%.

There is also issue of raising tolls, it was supposed to happen March 27, but he found money? I don’t know where he “found” it, perhaps by reducing the salary of an unfilled job for 12 plus years that he just filled w/a state senator (early supporter) from $175,000 to $120,000.

I could not believe after Deval’s versions of Hope & Change and yes we can or together we can, the people here voted in Obama. Same words, speech, both from Chicago, same campaign mgr. Axelrod,etc. He’s a failed gov, can’t wait for his departure.

Moe, when you posted that story a couple days ago about the 2010 Governor races and the direction the state would likely end up going I knew it was complete BS when it said Massachusetts would stay blue. Granted Patrick could lose in a primary. But Deval Patrick is so ripe for the picking in 2010. His own party hates his guts and not to mention the Commonwealth is very thrilled with his 19 cent tax increase proposal on a gallon of gas making gas in Massachusetts the most expensive nation wide

But I did read somewhere that 95% of all people woudl get a tax break

…we’re scheduled to be doing an awful lot of fighting on other people’s real estate for the next few years.
