Deval Patrick Elected Governor

Saw this amazing man give his acceptance speech this morning.

Listening to him brought tears to my eyes and had me thinking about moving to Mass.

TheBostonChannel.com - News - Deval Patrick Elected Governor:

BOSTON -- Democrat Deval Patrick was elected the first black governor of Massachusetts Tuesday, ending 16 years of Republican leadership on Beacon Hill.

Despite an aggressive ad campaign that portrayed Patrick as being soft on crime and coming to the defense of a convicted rapist, he took an early lead in the polls against Republican Kerry Healey,
Independent candidate Christy Mihos and Green-Rainbow Party's Grace Ross.

Before a packed Hynes Convention Center audience in Boston, Patrick delivered his acceptance speech, promising voters a better and hopeful future.
