A few years back one big guy from there ran for the US Senate or Governor (not Patrick). The guy was a well known liberal and supported liberal causes.

If you are going to throw out liberals that work(ed) Bain, you might as well ditch Steyer and Soros, both had some less savory patches in their Finance careers.

And I'm not seeing much of a defense in replies.
