Ex-Massachusetts Gov. Patrick weighing 2020 White House bid



BOSTON (AP) - Former Massachusetts Gov. Deval (deh-VAL') Patrick says a 2020 run for the White House is on his "radar screen" - the firmest indication yet that the political confidant of Barack Obama is weighing a White House bid.

Patrick's musings are already casting a light on the strengths and vulnerabilities of his legacy as governor.

His strengths include the rollout of the state's landmark 2006 health care law and passage of his $1 billion, 10-year life sciences initiative.

Patrick's stumbles included turmoil at the state Department of Children and Families and a disastrous effort to transition to Obama's federal health care law.
