Is it me or is

Governor Patrick up to something?

His fundraising continues even though he is a "lame duck governor" by personal degree and now he and Lieutenant Governor Tim Murray are embarking on a "listening tour" of the Commonwealth.
Two of the Governor's initial stops are noted below:

SALISBURY: July 7th at 5:30 p.m. - Town Common, 17 Elm Street

MILFORD: July 12th at 6:00 p.m. - Draper Park

Why is the Lt. Governor "on tour" as well?
That seems odd.
Is the Governor trying to raise Tim Murray's profile prior to some announcement? Does that announcement involve the Governor's future political plans or the Lieutenant Governor's future political plans?
This could all be speculation on my part...But Governor's of reasonably prosperous states do not ordinarily bestir themselves in the hot weather months unless there is something in the wind.
If any of the high democratic primary towns show up on the schedule (exp. Arlington) then that would be an interesting indicator.
Just sayin' thass all.
Hell I could be wrong, anything to avoid joining the bluster about Whitey Bulger.
