Chatter about Kerry highlights political focus on Patrick

President Obama’s reelection victory last week, combined with a net pickup of two Senate seats for the Democratic Party on Election Day, is having a ripple effect on Massachusetts.

Senator John Kerry is in under consideration to serve either as secretary of state in a second Obama term, or, as The Washington Post elaborated upon Monday, as secretary of defense.

Pathological liar? Nah...we kicked Mitt's azz and sent him packing back to Mormon-land so you don't know what you're talking about.

I can only think of one Democrat in Massachusetts who is not either stupid or corrupt (or both): Deval Patrick.
