As we speculate on VP candidates, I wonder what ever happened to Deval Patrick?

Not that I followed him closely, but my recollection was that he was a successful and well liked governor.
I would hate to see a senator picked with the possibility of having that seat filled by a republic pick by the state's governor.

In the event Warren is tapped, the governor's appointment would be temporary. A special election would follow shortly. Speculation is Joe Kennedy III (or IV is it?) would be the front runner.
