Another Idle conjuration...

If Governor Patrick was looking to make a different sort of campaign appearance, with the intent perhaps to get up close and personal with some of Scott Brown's voters, he could do worse than to drop by the Raynham Flea Market on some Sunday going forward.

The demographics are enticing, young working class families, low-status retailers, elderly retirees seeking to stretch a buck and of course, collectors of all stripes.

Mind you this is a South Shore cadre with strong Brown leanings but if the Governor wants to cultivate a rep for taking on all comers, the Raynham Flea Market would be a good start, the crowds there are big every Sunday.

He will get an earful to be sure and some of it might get heated, but the Governor seems to be a cool customer and he'll get points just for making an honest effort to reach out and explain his platform to all and  sundry.

Or at least he can enjoy a nice soft pretzel and some mustard....
