How bad has Deval Patrick been? His agenda is being stymied by the 90%-Democratically controlled MA State Senate. Mitt Romney, an alleged Republican, was more capable of working with these people than Deval Patrick. Patrick couldn't work with members of his own party in the most heavily Democratically controlled state in the union. What's that say about his experience, or, more particularly, lack thereof???I never, not in a million years, thought there was ANY circumstance whereby I would be hoping for a Clinton win.
Barack Obama changed that.
Although, to be fair, Deval Patrick played a hand in it - if he hadn't been so utterly incompetent in MA, I wouldn't be as afraid of an Obama presidency as I currently am.
But I look at Barack Obama and I see Deval Patrick, writ large. I see a man completely and utterly out of his league getting into office on nothing more than flowery rhetoric, and not having the faintest clue what to do once he gets in...
The man won the Governor's office in MA without the faintest fucking clue how MA politics worked. Not a single one. He has systematically alienated the people that get shit done. He has submitted budgets that rely on revenue from casinos that not only haven't been built, but haven't even been approved to be built. His "Together We Can" slogan has apparently come to mean "Together We Can work to stop Deval Patrick".
And I expect Obama, who has less experience than Deval Patrick, to be just as ineffective.
If the Stupid Party had a snowball's chance in hell of re-taking the House and/or Senate, I'd be cheering Obama on from the rooftops - IMHO, gridlock is the best we can possibly hope for in our Fed Gov these days. The less they can get done, the less they can infringe on our liberties. However, the GOP seems intent on painting bullseyes on their wingtips (IOW, business as usual), so I'm not willing to chance Deval Patrick playing with the federal budget...
That is all...
