That’s the question that faced Governor Deval Patrick when he called in to Kiss 108 this morning. Though he did manage to dodge a battery of Fall Out Boy-related inquiries, he couldn’t evade the one about where he’ll live “when Barack Obama names you Attorney General.”
The Guv’s response: “I am so sick of that question… Let me be absolutely clear. I’m not going… The best thing in the world for me is to stay right where I am, and to have, while I’m governor, a partner in a president Obama, as aligned as he is with our agenda around clean and alternative energy, public education and infrastructure investment, honoring the dignity of work and working people. I can’t think of anything better than an Obama administration that is working towards the same goals, in the same direction, and with the same urgency.” Nicely put. Not that it’ll quiet the speculative din any.
Patrick, who’s heading out to Chicago for tonight’s wicked bash, also said he plans to “take a ride out to my old neighborhood and just sit on the stoop for a little while and just take all this in.”
