That would be tomorrow, or, a few minutes from now. patrick is 63, hes a harvard-educated lawyer, former doj section chief, former two-term governor of massachusetts. currently a managing director over at bain capital, which happens to be mitt romneys old shop. and while the election is a year off, the first primaries, remember, are in about three months, so, its considered late in the race already and there already are a few other democrats in the running, so, watch this space. speaking of whic...
