Deval Patrick in Trouble? Cahill Running Mate Ditches

So Tim Cahill's backers have left him, and now so has his running mate. Paul Loscocco has decided today to exit the race. His reasoning:

I cannot sit idly by as my friends and supporters cast their votes for my ticket, knowing that the best chance to defeat Governor Patrick is with Charlie Baker. I cannot and will not let my ego get in the way of doing what is right for Massachusetts.

I think Patrick is toast if Cahill drops out, but this news itself, will begin to influence independents not to vote for Cahill. Maybe now Baker can get his one on one debate with Patrick.
