Okay, so maybe I jumped the gun

In my last post I implied that, unlike our President-elect, who seems to be enjoying his electoral honeymoon as he builds what might best be described as a pragmatic cabinet, Governor Patrick might not have the same level of public support necessary to sell Jim Aloisi as a tactical choice for Transportation Secretary, one best equipped to implement reform that will ultimately emanate from the corner office. Guess I was wrong, as indicated by the Governor’s favorability numbers reported in this weekend’s Globe.

In contrast, Patrick has seen his favorability rating grow from 57 percent last September to 64 percent, even as his constituents appear to be increasingly nervous about jobs and the faltering economy, the poll indicated.

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.
