The NYT reports:
Democrat Deval Patrick, a former top U.S. civil-rights enforcer, was elected governor of Massachusetts on Tuesday, becoming the second black ever elected to lead a U.S. state. Breaking a 16-year Republican hold on the office in the liberal state, Patrick won 55 percent of the vote to beat Republican Lt. Gov. Kerry Healey by 15 points.
Here’s Patrick’s website. He won with the endorsements of NARAL, NOW, Planned Parenthood and MassEquality PAC! Thanks for the reminder to Shark-Fu.
