Deval Patrick campaign announcement video

Two very quick observations:
* Unlike every other campaign announcement video, it wasn't captioned
* He doesn't use the opportunity to display a candidate website

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Oh please, he has presidential fever. He wants to run and who care 'who' recruited him...they should have saved the money and time...he will go nowhere and will not win the Mid West after working where he works. I have no interest. He is nothing like Pres. Obama.

interested...he won't appeal to rust belt voters...and is not well known...I doubt he could get reelected governor in Mass too. He will be in and out...sad to see money and time go to waste.

1) They stand to gain something from it.

2) They are worried Biden won't win the primary.

After the way Obama was treated, I can’t believe anyone still falls for it. But they do.

Equity firms...they have practically ruined the mid west with their greed...so I won't even consider voting for him in a primary. And I am sure Biden will choose a better VP.
