CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—Gov. Deval Patrick says Barack Obama's victory in Iowa should put to rest any concerns about the "electability" of the Illinois senator.
Patrick gathered with other Obama supporters at a Harvard Square restaurant to watch the Iowa caucus returns Thursday night. The Massachusetts governor endorsed Obama in October and traveled to Iowa last weekend for a two-day campaign swing through the state.
Patrick said the Iowa results show that it's up to the people to decide who is electable, not "some pundit or wise guy."
Patrick has several events scheduled on behalf of Obama Saturday and Sunday in New Hampshire, which holds the nation's first presidential primary on Tuesday.
