DES MOINES, Iowa - Democratic presidential candidate Deval Patrick is centring his fledgling campaign on a defence of corporations and capitalism that puts him directly at odds with some of the party’s most progressive figures. You bet your life,” Patrick said Monday night in an interview with The Associated Press during his first visit to Iowa since officially launching his campaign. We pick a villain, we decide we’re gonna make a caricature of him or her, and we run with that. On Monday night, he stood by his pro-business stance when asked if he believes corporations bear any responsibility for income inequality in the nation. But Patrick himself acknowledged, almost self-consciously, that he’s got some growing pains to get through as a candidate.
