I think that’s likely. The cover story is that he’s moving to a condo in Boston, but I think he’s making himself more mobile so that he can take a job with Obama at a moment’s notice.
He still has Sweet Pea Farm out in Happy Valley. He can move out there for the Summer and “write his book”.
His current house is about 8 miles from the state house. Also this is not a good time to be selling.
Another interesting fact from the story; Patrick bought the house for $550K and now owes $1.28 million on it along with a 300K line of credit.
The two houses cost him $38K a month.
Because his approval rating is around 38%, he looks weak for re-election.
