Former Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick's presidential campaign did not go very far. But he raised an impressive amount of money for it.
The Democrat started his campaign with an announcement on November 14, never rose in the polls, and dropped out after getting less than one-half of 1 percent of the vote in the New Hampshire primary on February 11 – 58 days later.
Bernie Sanders plans to visit Massachusetts toward the end of the week to try to bolster his plausible chances of winning the state's primary on Super Tuesday – which might finish also-left-tilting Elizabeth Warren.
Sanders, a U.S. senator from neighboring Vermont who describes himself as a democratic socialist, is scheduled to appear at two rallies in Massachusetts.
