Governor Deval Patrick said today he would not resign his current office to become US attorney general for President Obama’s second term.
“No,” the governor told the Globe when asked the question after he participated in a forum for an audience of Boston business leaders.

Groovy Doovy, it's a bummer that you will be leaving the public sector following your current term. As a Massachusetts resident, I appreciate your work thus far and I'm looking forward to the next 2 years.
Patrick is an excellent governor -- the best since I came to Massachusetts some 30 years ago. It will be a loss to government if he never enters public service again. I hope he does, but I respect his decision.
Of course, this announcement seriously undercuts those who are always criticizing everything Patrick does as some kind of political manoeuver.
