Deval Patrick is political fucking napalm - and not in the ass-to-mouth-loving, Jessica Simpson way. This is a guy who fucked over the unions that got him elected, raised the state sales tax, built his entire campaign on legalizing casinos (which failed miserably), and just cost a major provider of jobs in the state $100M when employment is already on shaky ground as it is.
This guy embodies reason that Scott Brown got elected to the Senate in January; people are sick of tax-and-spend-achusetts and Deval represents the very foundation of that angst. As I've said before in this space, while Obama's voting record as a Senator may have been to the left, his governing as president has been very much centered. This is what makes him a desirable political figure in today's age of hyper-partisanship and hate-fueled rhetoric. Aligning himself with a guy who's liberalism would make Gore Vidal blush can't possibly be a political home run. He shouldn't have to disown the guy, but he should at least watch from a safe distance.
