Governor Deval Patrick will deliver the keynote address to an Iowa Democratic Party dinner in June, in the latest sign that he may be considering a run for president in 2016.

Patrick will speak to Democrats in the first-in-the-nation caucus state on June 15 at the Community Choice Credit Union Convention Center in Des Moines, an aide said today.

The visit will be his first introduction to key party activists in a state that plays a pivotal role in presidential elections, with caucuses that can vault little-known candidates into the national spotlight.

Interesting.

You'd think politicians from Massachusetts would have figured out something from Dukakis, Kerry, Romney (not to mention Tsongas) all flopping.  Not everyone can be Jack Kennedy.
