Governor Deval Patrick participated in a bus tour for President Obama’s reelection campaign this weekend, but events back home are a reminder that the road to the White House — for Obama now and, potentially, him in the future — is littered with deep potholes.
The still-unfolding state drug lab case, and the revelation that a state-regulated Massachusetts company was distributing tainted steroids causing deaths across the country, have the potential to mar Patrick’s aura of executive leadership.

I wish I had a day job like that...just call and check in periodically and still get paid my full salary.
A governor is on call 24 hours a day 7 days a week. He has have to deal with crises where people and property might be at stake.
The governor is important to the lives and fortunes of the citizens of this state. You aren't. Try having a little respect.
Career ambitions???!? Deval Patrick's career is over. He is way too short to be President and he is too far down on any Democrat's fantasy list for Supreme Court. Career ambitions?? Talk about delusions of grandeur...
