I have no philosophical objection to Deval Patrick running, but he offers nothing compelling...

A former Governor who couldn't deliver a deep Blue State to another Democrat won't be doing better in the Battleground States.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

I am not trying to slam the fellow ..I just don't see how he gets anywhere in the race ….We already have too many candidates at 1% who can't get the hint from voters that no one is interested in them …… A random name in the telephone book would probably get 1%in the national polls ….

running, I'd be more okay with it
Bullock can at least point to a reason why his run is unique
