I want to start this off with an apology. In my last election editorial, I questioned the seemingly crazy decision on the part of Deval Patrick to enter the Democratic race in a rather, retrospectively speaking, crude manner. Although I attempted to mix serious commentary with a dash of humor, feedback I received from multiple readers did not respond to this attempt too well, and I can admit when I do wrong. Thus, if you ever end up reading this, Mr. Patrick, I sincerely apologize for judging you as harshly as I did; after all, I don’t anyone could have screwed up the Democratic primary more at this point than the Columbia Broadcasting System did on Tuesday, Feb. 25.
