@Bryant Crawford:- No one expected an essay!!!

Although I don't agree with anything Patrick does I admit I hate him, loathe, disgust. I'm not a great fan of fat people with big mouths I figure if they can't take care of their bodies they can't take care of the general public. They don't care about their own bodies they don't care about you. So.
You have 2 Governors from opposite parties. Again I don't agree with Patricks politics but MA seems to like him and they seem to think he's done them well. NJ thinks they have the inside track.
Patricks connection is Obama. He can be NO WORSE than Barry! Jury is still out on the two faced one from a bit further south & then again it is God's Toilet. Patrick is the fad, the in thing right now, people don't want to vote against him cause then they'll think they are racists. The obese one has, people can stand next to him and know they won't be considered that big. Patty is more laid back, Dumbo is high spirited. Both are intelligent. I think! Although why anyone would make NJ home is beyond me. Patty's got the Red Sox and Patriots. Fatty's got the Giants (how appropriate) do the Devils still play in NJ? Makes for a fun four years doesn't it at least some thing to look forward too.
Nobody's talked about Patrick being a candidate but as much as I dislike the guy he is better than alot as in many other candidates being considered. He is an improvement from that which we have now.
