Deval Patrick's dismal poll showings a boon to challengers
The Boston Herald ^ | 7/01/2009 | Dave Wedge & Hillary Chabot

Posted on 07/01/2009 5:30:25 AM PDT by Andy'smom

Gov. Deval Patrick has only himself to blame for an embarrassing poll showing a narrow win for Republican rival Christy Mihos, opposing strategists and potential challengers charged yesterday.

“Patrick right now is running against himself - and losing,” said political strategist and author Dick Morris, a former top adviser to President Clinton who is working for Mihos. “It shows there’s tremendous vulnerability.” The Rasmussen/FOX 25 poll released Monday, which surveyed 500 voters, found 41 percent would vote for Mihos and 40 percent for Patrick.

I live in MA, and personally know a number of Obama voters who appear to be getting a bit queasy about what their vote hath wrought. Slowly but surely, this anxiety is carrying over to all things Democrat.

And let’s hope this POS lib dem gov is what will happen to buttcrack in the polls. We need America and those blind dumb idiots who voted for Buttcrack to finally realize they made a HUGE mistake. They need to turn against him like a community does to a sexual predator when that sleazeball moves into their neighborhood and starts selling icecream to their kids!

It would be a great story if Dick Morris hadn’t been mentioned. Anyone seen the Lava soap?

...great story if Dick Morris hadn’t been mentioned...

What the heck is the fascination with this Clinton stoogesleazeball Dick Morris? The Dick was joined to Obama at the hip as they barnstormed Kenya (illegally)in a campaign for Raila Odinga, the Christian-Massacring, Church Burning Marxist Jihadist. He was paid for the trip by Bill Clinton.... or George Soros

Now, all of a sudden he is smelling Obama blood in the water ,... and still on the Clinton-Soros Payroll ...turns on his ole buddy Obama.

What do members of the VRWC need, a map? Hillary is getting ready to take on BHO, Jr. again in 2012. Team Clinton-Soros probably didn't mind letting Obama take the rap for the bad economy, and then taking him out in 2012, if we don't prove him ineligible first, that is.

OMT, if The Dick appears on Sean Hannity one more time, I am hobbling over to the studio on my walker and beating the living crap out of Sean. What? The Toe-Sucker and Sean were altar boys together? Why are "conservative" talkers so enamored of this guy ... he ain't their friend!

Queasy? We're not even 6 months into the flight of Obama 666. That's 1/8 of the total trip. Tell them to pull out a barf bag and enjoy the turbulence. Oh, and that discounted plane ticket and free food they were promised? F'getabou'it.

I used to live in that state. I moved over the border to NH, of course my state is getting as bad as MA, but I would rather deal with NH than actually being in that dump of a state.
Deval Patrick is a MORON.

Why not take Hillary, Deval, Barack and The Dick Morris, duct-tape them together, attach'em to a hot-air balloon and launch'em on a strong west wind outa here?

Deval is a fitting companion for the Kenyan. They are both AAA's, Affirmative Action Clymers who got elected because massholes and other liberals didn't want to appear prejudiced.

What Kenny said.
As far as him “being good” these days: he can never make up for his past, I don’t care how “good” he gets. He is as slimey as slime can get.

It would be nice to think that Christy Mihos has a shot at beating “Coupe” Deval Patrick, but as a former Bay Stater I know in my heart that its Pavlovian poodle voters will still mindlessly pull the lever for any decrepit, diseased, dumb or drunk Democrat, especially if their last name is “Kennedy”.

I believe there is a Ph.D. dissertation waiting to be written on the number of higher education students who vote both in Massachusetts and in their home state. I have a hunch the number exceeds 25,000. Multiply that figure nation-wide and their are likely as many as half a million illegal votes. The liberals initiate their pattern of mendacity at an early age.

Whatever. The reason he's on Fox so much the last couple years is he makes sense and is pretty pithy to boot.

Which leads me to ask; who else has the balls these days to say it like it is? McCain? Romney? All the Wall Street corporatists who got us in this mess? The weak wristed fops over at the RNC ? Fraid not. Everybody else is on Sabbatical while the Lying Narcissist ruins the country. Unfortunate truth.

Preview of the Obama Presidency.

Both Obama and Patrick used the same political advisor, Axelrod, to mold and shape their candidates. Shared speeches, shared hopenchange empty rhetoric. Made soaring promises (Obama - millions of new jobs, elimination of dependence on foreign oil, free health care; Patrick - promised to lower local property taxes, but did nothing other than obsess about casinos for 3 years, and now is raising the state sales tax).

Two empty suit politicians, coached by Axelrod to make pandering appeals to targeted groups. Good political strategy, but no real leadership skills by either of them.

In re The Dick Morris: Which leads me to ask; who else has the balls these days to say it like it is?

The Dick says like his client du jour has paid for. His basic client: The Clintons. Writing the checks: Bill and Hillary's foundations and a fellow named George Soros.

The campaign is on ... Hillary in 2012! OBTW, his back- stabbing best seller "Catastrophe," could easily have been written during the campaign of 08. Read it. Blinding glimpse of the obvious, for Democrats, who have now to weaned off Obama, as per Bill, Hillary, and George Soros' orders.
