Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick doesn’t want the job of Attorney General said an aide, a day after he dined with President Barack Obama at the White House.
Alex Goldstein, the Executive Director of Patrick’s political committee “TogetherPAC,” said in a statement to BuzzFeed that the governor’s visit was “social.”
“The Governor has the only job in public life that he wants — and he looks forward to completing his term as Governor,” Goldstein said. “The purpose of the trip was a social dinner and nothing more.”
Patrick was considered for the post before Attorney General Eric Holder was selected in 2008, and has widely been viewed as angling to replace Holder as soon as next year.

troyw4 6 months agopatrick wants to be president and is waiting for biden and hillary to make it official that they are not running. also patrick knows that if he comes in even third place in the iowa primary in 2016 he knows he would win in NH and the rest of the early primary states are dominated by minority voters in SC, FL, MI, and NV.

chaz atlas 6 months agoI don’t think Attorney General would help Patrick whatsoever. Running mate with Hillary might not be bad.
