(Mighod do any our homegrown pols lack a book deal at this point? There is something in the water here in Massachusetts that seemingly compels politicians to write...)
Governor Patrick's deal though, seems to be stimulating speculation on his post 2014 plans, there is a lot of Potomac talk in there, both the White House and more realistically, John Kerry's seat should the Senior Senator opt to retire or take another job in the Executive Department.
Well as far as the Presidency is concerned (I'll approach all this bluntly) I urge the Governor not to inhale those vapors. Who wants to join the ranks of Teddy Kennedy, Mike Dukakis, Paul Tsongas, John Kerry and now Mitt Romney all Bay State pols who wanted the Big Job and fell short.
Lets face it, there is something about the Commonwealth that the rest of the Federal Republic just doesn't like...Nothing in Patrick's backstory suggests he can overcome such a weird intangible attitude.
On the other hand, the Senate, that is an interesting idea, although its entirely contingent on the political plans of our Senior Senator...and at the moment he ain't talkin'.
