A Democratic consultant quoted in this Politico story suggests that Hillary Clinton actually go after Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, the man whose words Barack Obama has borrowed. Patrick, an Obama supporter, did well on the stump but hasn't lit the commonwealth on fire with his governing prowess now that he is in office. One wonders if this fact hurt Obama in the Massachusetts primary.
It would be interesting if Hillary were able to take advantage of Patrick's shortcomings. That's probably more than the Massachusetts Republican Party will ever be able to do.
