While Patrick served in the 1990s as head of the Justice Department's civil rights division under former President Clinton, husband of the New York senator, he also shares a strong connection with Obama from their mutual Chicago heritage and experience as black student leaders at Harvard Law School.

Last fall, Patrick became the first black governor of Massachusetts and only the second black state leader in the nation's history. Obama has the potential to become the nation's first black president. He also visited Massachusetts on Patrick's behalf during last year's gubernatorial campaign and his endorsement returns the political favor.

2. Gutsy move by Patrick.

He owes his career to the Clintons.

5. See...there can be courage when

you know something is right in spite of the "loyalty" that some politicians stick to when it goes it against their very principles.
