Deval Patrick Goes for Mob Support

Well, OK, not quite the mob, just the mob boss' brother who remains a major power broker in Mass politics, William Bulger. Duval Patrick, an outsider to Mass politics, yeah, right.

“According to Deval’s recollection, Bulger initiated the meeting and asked that they have the breakfast just to get together in the early stages of the campaign,” Patrick spokesman Richard Chacon said. “Deval had used the opportunity to ask for Mr. Bulger’s support during the primary.”

He remembers this much better than he remembers his donations to convicted torturers & rapists.
Meanwhile a new television ad hit the airways yesterday paid for by the Republican Governor’s Association which is chaired by Romney. It portrays Patrick as a Democratic yes-man who has already promised to raise taxes, increase spending and weaken graduation requirements.

The new ad features a shot of a closed State House office door with the voiceover remark: “Can we trust Deval Patrick and one-party rule behind closed doors?”

Of course the answer is no. That's why you should vote for Healey.
