Governor Deval Patrick, fresh off signing a major tax increase and still battling through a historic budget crisis, has seen a huge drop in his standing among Massachusetts voters and faces a tough road to a second term, according to a new Boston Globe poll.

This is more of a local issue but so much for the bumper sticker mentality types. "Change." "Yes we can." Fools!

[WayneS]

While I DO like Spongebob more, I don’t have anything AGAINST Patrick. I mean, I wouldn’t go so far as to say I don’t support him.

If it can happen in MA, it can happen nationwide.

[Brilliant]

I’m betting it’s because he’s a FOO... Friend of Obama.

[NewHampshireDuo]

A bunch of whiney-whiteys elected Patrick and the same type voted in Obama.

[Boardwalk]

Get the bum out of there!!!

[nhwingut]

Patrick was Obama before Obama.

Together We Can... Lose the White Guilt.

The voters in Massachusetts, which is among the bluest of the blue states, are ticked off because of high taxes and even higher spending? It always amazes me how often conservatism is vindicated, yet few people heed its lessons.

This guy has been a catastrophe. Massachusetts has a 5 billion dollar revenue reduction. Thank you Mr. Obama!!! That’s what prompted this. He’s been so bad that a couple months ago they had a poll indicating they wished they had Romney back as Governor 57% to 38%.

[WayneS]

Uh. Okay.

But what do you think of Spongebob?

[101voodoo]

I used to live in MA (big, BIG mistake) and i can promise you in talking to people I know up there after Patrick was elected, they were SO full of themselves and PROUD they elected a black. It is the typical liberal form and symbolism over substance we see every day. Everything is image with these people ans it is why they elected the empty suit sitting in the WH.

If the guy was white he never would have made it past NH in the primaries.

Didn’t this governor just side with the racist h. gates?

[Ann Archy]

Deval should not have ANY support!

[The governor’s core constituency remains highly educated, liberal Democrats]

If they are “hight educated,” why are they so stupid?

[OldCorps]

cool picture bump

Yes Deval PAtrick supported the race baiting “professor” who lives in a free Harvard house and who engages in some non-profit fraud. I would love for these “professors” to take an SAT test and be required to get a low score to keep their job.

Like New York City, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, and Dallas, Mass. voters (and also US voters) now have their conscience clear regarding racial injustices in the past. These voters elected the black man that they were told to vote for, to heal their communities, and instead they essentially got Black Panthers who want to start a race war.

The 6 (majority non-black) cities above learned their lesson (unfortunately each had to learn it) and have not elected another black. It looks like Mr. Patrick may be heading their way. Let’s hope Mr. Obama can quickly join them.
