Deval Patrick in Trouble

Long-time Obama buddie, MA governor, Deval Patrick appears to be in trouble. Polls say that he is trailing Republican candidate Christy Mihos. On the surface it looks extremely close, with Mihos at 41%, and Patrick at 40%. But compare this with the last election, where Patrick took 56% and Mihos only 7%. Now we get a better picture of Patrick's rapid decline.

Patrick has decided that raising the MA state sales tax is the answer to his popularity woes, and he will be increasing the sales tax by 25%.

Because MA is a heavily Democratic state, I'm sure the powers that be will try everything possible to get Deval back in, but this time I don't think any of it will work. The people have realized how bad this guy is, and it's just beginning.

My prediction: Patrick done in 2010. Obama done in 2012. The world will be a better place.
