His buddy Deval Patrick became Governor of MA using this method. In a politically correct, white-guilt ridden electorate, it’s all you need.
And Deval is a total disaster in MA with approval rating barely breaking 40%. And even that is no doubt bogus since liberals are loathe to speak ill of their own and NEVER admit they may have made a mistake electing one.
Deval is building a hugh mansion in western MA. — where he can go to rest up from the rigors of DC (where he expects to spend the next 8 years).
