It’s official: Former Massachusetts governor and current Bain Capital executive Deval Patrick is running for president:

It’s official, @DevalPatrick is in, debuting his new 2020 campaign logo on Twitter. He acknowledges the steep climb, telling the @BostonGlobe: “I recognize running for president is a Hail Mary under any circumstances. This is a Hail Mary from two stadiums over.” pic.twitter.com/YAmKpUvUz8

Good luck, dude. The libs kind of have a thing against Bain Capital executives:

We knocked Romney for working at Bain Capital, Deval Patrick doesn't get a pass for doing the same. https://t.co/9HiJb1gR9X

And it looks like he already has some work ahead of him. How many other state deadlines has he missed?

A day ago, Deval Patrick could have notified Michigan party officials he wanted to get on the primary ballot. Since he didn't, it now appears he will have to gather 11,345 signatures by Dec. 13 if he wants to get on the ballot. pic.twitter.com/u1EWpiAOCx
