he is getting a lot of bad press over the cadillac episode and $10,000 drapes.
im not so sure he will be a one term governor. he can totally screw up, but the republicans really dont have any one to run that can win statewide.
Someone posted this in response to a conservative blogger's attack on that issue:
You expected Governor Patrick to have an unfurnished office? Because this is what this boils down to. Since Romney took the furniture from the office with him, it had to be replaced. For that reason, this will blow over (whatever your "friends" say).
Expect Patrick to be easily reelected as long as he wants the office. After all, the GOoPers don't have anyone to run against him, since they have no statewide officeholders left in the Commonwealth, and a whopping 12% of the legislature.He's right.
