Jon Keller's on Patrick's political malaise:

My nervous caller says the same thing other insiders say: Patrick’s game plan doesn’t appear to include aggressive reinforcement of his core campaign message – that he’ll go in and shake up Beacon Hill to wring out better results for working folks...

Not good. I'm optimistic that things will even out -- it's only been a few months, after all -- but people will only hang in there for so long.
