THANK YOU GOD!!!!! Thank you to the openminded voters of our wonderful state of Massachusetts!!! Finally, we have back what has long been missing in our state, a Democratic Governor that cares about the people and not his pockets!
BOSTON - Deval Patrick was elected governor of Massachusetts on Tuesday (NBC is projecting Patrick the winner), restoring the Democratic Party to the Corner Office after a 16-year absence, and putting himself into the history books as the first black to win the state's highest office in its 218-year history.
Patrick defeated Lt. Gov. Kerry Healey, the Republican nominee, as well as independent Christy Mihos and Grace Ross of the Green-Rainbow Party, based on a statistical analysis of the vote from voter interviews conducted for The Associated Press by Edison Media Research and Mitofsky International.
In addition to the state distinction, the victory made Patrick just the second African-American governor in the nation since Reconstruction. The first, L. Douglas Wilder of Virginia, left office more than a decade ago, in 1995.
