today noting that gubernatorial candidate Deval Patrick is having some trouble reeling in the support of African American ministers due to his acceptance of gay marriage.
Frankly, the Globe does love to run with these scare stories about the "black vote"...if its not this then its articles predicting that all of Blue Hill Avenue is about to enlist under the banner of Grover Norquist.
There are it seems a lot of reasons not to vote for Mister Patrick that much is clear.
If it is not this then its qualms over his corporate law practice, or his height or perhaps even his race.
Yeah thats a factor here sad to say.
A lot of people are wondering if an African American can go hard statewide and win.
Of course, Edward W. Brooke did it back in 1962 & 1966 but then one suspects we've gone backwards since then.
That is what Patrick is up against....history.
My advise to the Ministers and Deaconry in question is to forget gay marriage as we are all gonna be talking about street crime and health care come this fall count on it.
Moreover, I'd just as soon not have to go through another gubernatorial campaign built around GOP demogoguery and mendacity on the subject of crime.
Whether Patrick or Reilly or (dare I say it?) Kennedy can get control of those issues is another matter entirely.
