A key question looms over Patrick's 2020 plan: Would he even consider a run without Obama’s tacit approval?

Those with long memories may recall that as the 2020 field was first forming, lots of associates of Patrick’s very close friend Barack Obama were urging him to join the race, as Politico reported in August of 2017: Patrick decided against a 2020 bid in December of last year, citing his wife’s health problems and unhappiness about the “cruelty of the election process.” Now, like Michael Bloomberg last week, Patrick appears to be reconsidering that decision, and for a similar immediate reason: the filing deadline for next February’s New Hampshire primary is this Friday, November 15.
