Governor Deval Patrick said today that voters in the presidential race should take note of polls showing Republican nominee Mitt Romney trailing far behind President Obama in Massachusetts, the state where he both lives and once served as governor, because it should tell them something.

“He’s a resident of Massachusetts. He will vote in Massachusetts. He governed in Massachusetts. We elected him - and he is trailing 20 to 25 points. What does that tell you?” Patrick said during his monthly appearance on WTKK-FM.

“It tells you that we know him, and, ‘No, thank-you.’ We’ve seen this movie before, and we’re not going to do it again.”
