CBS4) BOSTON With only two days left until the democratic candidates square off in the gubernatorial primary, an exclusive CBS4 / Boston Globe poll reveals that Deval Patrick is pulling away from his rivals in the final days with a 21-point lead over Chris Gabrieli. Additionally, according to the poll, former front-runner Tom Reilly could receive only 18 percent of the primary vote.

The dems want a guy with a name that sounds like devil? Very appropriate!
Deval Patrick has quite the temper. And has difficulties controlling his temper. Check out some of his "utterances" during first and second term Clinton years. He and the Federal Civil Rights Commission shall render some rather revealing quotes about... Deval. Patrick.
Kerry- Healy should run ads saying "Massachusetts voters made clear in a referendum that they want the tax rate returned to 5%.Patrick proudly proclaims that,as Governor,he won't allow that to happen...."
I think Patrick would be easiest to beat.If he wins,he'll clearly make Dukakis look like a moderate on many issues.If that happens,I'm outta here...after 50+ years.
A few months, in Boston, I came a cross a group of his supporters. Most looked like they hadn't touched bath water in months. I asked a 20-something white female why she was supporting him, not telling her my political beliefs.
She said "He is for a woman's right to choose and he adds diversity." I said "He does? His beliefs are the same as most of the Massachusetts elected officials. How is that diverse?" She said "He is African American."
How quaint! Typical Dem.
Here in Mass,this clown's association with Billy Bob will be a plus...a big plus.
As surprising as it may seem to outsiders,his position on taxes (he likes them) is his Achilles heel.
Just why do people who should know better keep living in that State?
Can you tell me what else is happening in this race? What in particular is Deval "selling" on?
lol. So you have seen that his supporters are cultish ideologues. So, he's "repackaged and reselling" women's rights? How very cheap of him. lol. Has he said anything yet about mandating "skin color" quotas not just in governmental bodies and colleges -- but forcing businesses to "acquire" (hire) the people he recommends?

Lefty loafers will punch in for St. Deval’s win

If Deval Patrick can get 250,000 of his cult members to the polls Tuesday, he probably wins the primary. If he turns out 300,000, he definitely takes it.
If you grew up in Massachusetts, and work for a living, you are probably asking yourself, who the hell are these people? And on all those Deval signs, what exactly does it mean, “Together We Can,” and why is there no period at the end of the sentence?
Another question: Next to so many “Together We Can (no period)” yard signs, why is there another one, on a green background, that says “Darfur Not on Our Watch.”
Watch? That implies a job, which is something most rabid Deval devotees do not have a lot of firsthand experience with. Who needs to work when you have a trust fund? Actually, you hear rumblings this weekend that Deval’s get-out-the-vote drive has sputtered a bit because so many of his limousine liberals do not take direction well, which is understandable. They’ve never had to answer to a boss.
They’re told to make some calls, and they retort, I prefer to e-mail. Because, you know, they blog. That, and they wear wide-brim leather hats if they’re guys. The women wear flat shoes, baggy shifts and no makeup.
Last movie seen: “An Inconvenient Truth.”
Next movie seen: “Death of a President.”
Favorite movie ever: “Fahrenheit 9/11.”
Ye shall also know them by their bumper stickers. Together We Can (no period), of course. And next to that, “We Are A Family And We Vote.” And something along the lines of “Redefeat Bush.”
The newest trendy bumper sticker for Deval moonbats: Lamont. He beat Joe Lieberman, you know. Joe Lieberman knows George Bush. That makes him a bad, bad man.
You might think Deval voters would still have Kerry-Edwards 2004 stickers. But no, they don’t much like John Kerry. He let them down by allowing the election to be stolen from himby Ken Blackwell in Ohio.
That Ken Blackwell - he’s an evil black man. He’s a Republican and he has a moustache. Not like St. Deval. Or Barack Obama.
One thing all cults share is a tendency to accept everything that the messiah says at face value. This makes life very easy for the savior, at least until he ventures outside the compound of true believers, the way Deval did at the Ch. 4 debate last week.
That was where Deval asked his two nefarious opponents - Catholic white guys with jobs - how they could possibly dare to take a poke at his glass jaw. Deval was seriously annoyed. His voice started rising the way Michael Jackson’s does when he says, “I am not a whacko.”
Deval can dish it out, but he can’t take it.
It’s the same way with Deval’s supporters. One newspaper that endorsed him has been sending reporters out to follow Mitt Romney around the country. The shrinking sheet claims to be shocked because the governor has been using Massachusetts as the “punch line” of jokes. So last week, when these same carpetbaggers endorsed Deval, they described this state as “old, cold and closed” - a nastier crack than anything Romney has ever said.
But hey, they’re the Beautiful People. Tom Reilly? Not on their watch.
We’ve seen some of these sanctimonious types before. Four years ago, Robert Reich had his own minicult, although his moonbats weren’t nearly as heavily medicated. Reich had physicians, Deval has psychologists.
But who will beat him? Reilly is hopeless. As for Gabrieli, his hired hands tell people they’re winning the “air war,” but we’ve heard that one before, from Donald Rumsfeld in 2003. Shock and awe usually ends up, Aw, shucks.
Tuesday, my money’s on Deval. The moonbats are in the saddle.
I add only this, which is no consolation to you good people still in Mass.
Have you ever thought that perhaps it is important, in the long term, that Deval, in fact be elected?
Please think about what I am saying. I've seen some financials out of Mass. These problems were created by Democrats. And are about to come home to roost, to bloom, to fruition. Deval can blame Republicans from the top of his whiny scaredy cat voice all he wants. It will land on him.
Up until this time, the Lib-Dems were preoccupied with putting their second and third string players into office. Times are "so bad" for them, the "first string" must run for office, or "perish on the vine".
By my observation, the red/blue coloring has become far more blue around the edges, along the border, of America; much less blue within the country. This is important to remember.
Democrats are against intel, and are pro-illegal immigration.
Homeland Security is active in Mass.
I think we do need Deval Patrick to win this election. But if a Republican can pull it out of the hat, Massachusetts can be preserved, and recovered.
If these polling numbers in Howie's column are true, the moonbats of Massachusetts will be asked to "Give Up Something For the Common Good". And, as Howie points out -- they won't like that one bit.
Please ping me to anything you see with more data on this situation? I appreciate your time.
Liberals democrats have an internal mechanism which blocks the results of their actions. It is called hypocrisy. They just don't get it. This is the bubble in which the self-righteous exist. It will reach epic proportions under this imbecile if he is elected. I see your theory but one has to have a conscience for said theory to be applied. They are beyond reproach. Case in point, I made this observation on FR a few weeks ago and it is so appropriate of their idiocy: I saw a bumper sticker on a car that said "No one died under Clinton."
Deval Patrick’s lack of performance in the Democrat’s debate answers the question: Is Deval a nickname? The answer to that question appears to be: Yes, it is short for Devalue which is what his stumbling performance did to his candidacy.
Chris Gabrielli may be a sharp businessman who can hire the best image-makers money can buy to produce great television commercials. But he put in a dull performance allowing the normally dullard-appearing Tom Reilly look as polished as Bill O’Reilly when he failed to answer any of the charges of ethical lapses Tom Reilly tossed at him.
Could someone explain to me why Tom Reilly is concerned about ethics and the law all of a sudden? After all, isn’t he the do-nothing attorney general who is apparently the only person in Massachusetts that seems to believe high quality, above-board construction practices by completely ethical firms is why 3-ton ceiling tiles are crushing vehicles in our new tunnels?
When I was in the fifth grade I was eliminated from a spelling bee by misspelling the word gubernatorial as goobernatorial. The three goobers seem to prove my misspelling may be right after all.
So who won the Democrat’s debate? My answer is: Republican Kerry Healy. The three goobers looked less than gubernatorial which made Lieutenant Governor Healy look more so.
Will Healy really have a shot in the general? Romney's margin was pretty small last time, and that was considered a GOP year. I suppose if Patrick loses we will hear it was entirely because of racism.
Patrick is yet another example of Clinton's legacy of further dividing Americans by race. Clinton pretended to be a moderate, and managed to succeed since he was elected twice. But he always appointed far left quota lovers like Patrick, Mary Berry, Ruth Ginsburg, and others of their ilk to the highest offices. This crowd helps ensure that racial divisions continue. If that's what MA wants as governor, then they can have it.
But I am scoping out real estate over the border in southern New Hampshire. If the housing market softens enough, I'm out.
I don't think Deval will do that well in the actual election.
People will say one thing to a telephone interviewer and may vote very differently. There is a lot of pressure in MA to be super liberal.
When Tom Reilly ran for AG even the exit polls showed that his superliberal opponent was going to win by a big margin. It didn't happen.
