Let's wait to see if Patrick actually holds that press conference. I heard he was flying to Rhode Island to make the announcement in his home district.....lots of problems could cause him to cancel it. I mean, he's already cancelled two public engagements today.
But even if he holds a press conference in RI, in a roomful of staffers and supporters, it is not going to be played as big as it would be in DC
Cynthia McKinney managed to get a couple celebrities to be at her press conference...maybe Babs Striesand will fly out for Patrick's....or Susan Sarandon, or Cindy Sheehan..lol
