Massachusetts is one of the more racist places I've been. To see how the libs arrange things is a real eye-opener.

A black governor? Ohmigawd! Why, didn't Massachusetts have a black senator in the 1970s???? And he was a Republican at that!

[spudsmaki]

Anyone seen any headlines asking if Pennsylvania is ready for a black governor? Oh wait, my bad, Swan is a Republican.

How is Michael Steele's campaign doing? Lots of crossover votes from Democrats supporting a black, I'll bet. /sarcasm

The liberal media just never gives up.

A state that will put Ted Kennedy in office for what, 30+ years now should be ready for Joe Stalin as Govnernor.

I don't care what Patrick's pigmentation is. All I care about is that he is a doofus liberal who loves to spend other people's money.

"The governor's a ni--" [*BONG!*]
"What did he say?"
"He said the governor's a-near!"

Massachusetts is "ready" for a Black governor, just not Deval Patrick. The people who support him are the ones who supported Robert Reich, the sort of people who still have Kerry bumperstickers on their cars. When these people really want something the rest of the state, like the rest of the country, usually votes the other way.

About the start of the article: it's a cheap shot, but journalism is largely made up of cheap shots. It's written for people who don't have a clue about how things are on the ground. That's why people pay less and less attention to the media.
