So it would have been better if she used a black woman, or hispanic woman, it would have been better? Maybe they should have stuck one woman from each culture in the add with a white man going around raping each one? Don't get me wrong Healey lost because of her scare tactics, and campaigning on everything that Patrick had done wrong rather then on what she has done right.. And as for BentBryan If you have ever voted for a Senator or most of the Reps, you have voted for a Lawyer, so electing one to governor can't be any worse..

Congrats to Mass. for electing their first criminal defense scumba..err..attorney as governor!

He was also Asst. Attorney General under Clinton....

From Wikipedia (keywords "Deval Patrick")

In 1994, Clinton nominated Patrick to be Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights. As an Assistant Attorney General, Patrick worked on a range of issues, including racial profiling, police misconduct, fair lending enforcement, human trafficking, and discrimination based on gender and disability. He led what was before 9/11 the largest federal criminal investigation in history as co-chair of the Task Force appointed to address arsons of Black churches and synagogues in the South. He also played a key role as an advisor to post-apartheid South Africa during this time and helped to create their civil rights laws[5].

I think Deval Patrick is a complete anti-american for trying to uphold the constitution and supporting the bill of rights. I hope he turns the corner and starts taking away our rights under the cover of "fighting terrorism".
