Well, just like anyone else who runs a website, he is not averse to doing things to generate interest and create hit$.

This last December one of Deval Patrick's top aides in his cabinet was arrested for raping a young boy in a steam room in Florida.

More recently it was discovered he and Obama "share" a major speech writer.

I'm guessing this latest bit of trouble has something to do with homosexuality.

All he’s doing is dropping a hint that something is out there but nothing specific. Why not give up something more that might give us some clue? No, he’s going to make sure that people keep coming back to his site and even throw the NY Slimes a few visits.

I’ve read in a story posted here that the Mass. governor is a disaster and he is somewhat associated with Obama, leading Mass. dems to be heavily anti-Obama. I’m not sure if the only connection is he is a young African American leader, I think there is more to it than that.

I almost hate to say, but I’ve seen some ads in mags and online for some sex product referred to as “the ropes”. Maybe he’s a customer, and maybe he’s charging it to the state...

Governor Patrick did not realize that the payola from the casinos in Connecticut goes to the leader of the State House who rules the roost, and runs the show.

He did not get the memo I suppose.

Of course that is speculation on my part.

Deval Patrick is a rank amateur who has not even a notion about just how politics is done in this Commonwealth.

Anything that comes Patrick's way now is obviously payback for incompetent poltical wrangling.

He IS a disaster, but I’d be surprised if this had anything to do with sex.

The past year, he has pushed and pushed to get casinos in Massachusetts, so I’m wondering if this has anything to do with bribes.

After Spitzer, I think that Patrick has to be the worst governor in America. He regards one of his major ‘achievements’ as thwarting the democratic process in allowing voters to weigh in on gay marriage as he stopped at nothing to convince legislators to let the voters have a say - so much for being a ‘Democrat’. His governorship has been a wreck-job and I’d love to see him gone. Thank the Good Lord I don’t live the gay Bay State.

If there is another scandal, we will see how Teflonic Obama is. 1st Spitzer, the Kawame, Then the 2nd Governor of NY admits to sins, and now Gov. Patrick. If has been openly discussed, when will the Mayor Kilpartick’s issues haunt Obama and Clinton. With the race narrowing in Obama’s favor, will these external issues have negative coattails for him as some have suggested.

A certain loyal segment of the Democratic party thinks that graft and bribery is OK. Nancy Pelosi is discovering that her dream of investigating corrupt Republicans will never come to pass.

Dope on da rope!

Patrick ran on a slogan without any real definition of what he planned to do--at least not that he mentioned to the voters. So far he has raised tolls and wants to open casinos and to raise taxes. He has accomplished nothing other than to get himself a new Cadillac on the taxpayers' dimes. But then, what did they expect. All he ran on was "hope" and "just words". The Obamaniacs would be wise to examine Obama's buddy Patrick.

The Obama campaign is nothing new to us here in MA.
We saw the exact same campaign 2 years ago with Deval, All the same Hope and Change and “Together we can” crap.
I imagine “Coupe” Deval is the sole reason most of the MA Dems ended up going for Hillary and not the messiah.

I remember that well and it disgusted me to see how many in the state fell for it. Now we are paying the price and many of the Democrats in my office are realizing he is all talk and no action.

Obama reminds me a lot of him and that’s not saying much.

Agree 100%. That is why I am hoping there is a real story here because not only will it hurt Deval, but Obama as well. Many in the media know how tight the two of them are and how much they are alike.

It is a win/win situation for all of us. ;o)

Here is what I found. Just a lurker here, not really versed in proper posting. Maybe you can post it properly. That’s all I know about it so far.

Florida prosecutors have dropped a sexual assault case against a top aide to Gov. Deval Patrick accused of performing sex acts on a teenager at a posh Sunshine State resort.
Carl Stanley McGee, 38, an assistant secretary of policy and planning, had been arrested Dec. 28 for an alleged sexual encounter with a 15-year-old boy in the steam room at Gasparilla Inn & Club in Boca Grande, but authorities said yesterday he will not be charged with any crime.

Florida assistant state attorney Francine Donnorummo wrote in a memo that she could find no “corroborating evidence to support the child’s (accusation) of his being forcibly sexually battered.”

Yea, Wonderful.
He does have Gall though, I give hime that.
This guy comes out of nowhere and instantly tries his hardest to jam 3 Casino Resorts down our throat.
Give me a break.
Besides Twin Rivers in RI is exactly 31 Minutes from my house. :)

Why is it that the states that are taxed the highest never seem to have enough money? /s

I believe this story will involve some type of political/Corporate corruption involving himself and some of his old Ameriquest or similar business buddies.
