   A bid to win election would have been a massive waste of money, even before this latest issue.

   Could this be a turn on the phrase, “if nominated I will not run, If elected I will not serve”??? You can run, but you can’t hide, DAVEY!!!

   Yes indeed. And I expect him to live up to his promise!

   As I have mentioned before, picture Obama as Robert Deniro in the movie the “The Untouchables” as Al Capone dressed in his tux walking around the table with his baseball bat………

   Gov. Paterson dug his own political grave. Nobody put a gun to his head and forced him to call up the woman complainant nor was he forced to award a video gambling contract at Aqueduct Race Track to cronies. Read the NY Post editorial and column by Michael Goodwin, no friend of Obama.

   So New York goes from Patterson to Baby Cuomo – pick foot out of muck-place foot forward place in muck. Lots of action but they are not going anywhere fast. Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is a piece of work peacock himself.

    The source said the governor has agreed not to seek election, but he will not resign – opting to serve out the remainder of his term.

    When Gov. Paterson was asked why, he responded: The aides kept rearanging the furniture all the time. It was funny at first, but soon became apparent they were really out to get me.

    Doesn’t quite work for me. Don’t see Barry having the kahonas to swing the bat. He’d send some SEIU thugs to do it while he’s at the silly summit. More like Pacino at the baptism in Godfather II maybe.

    I fail to understand how domestic problems involving Paterson’s aide, ,became an issue for Paterson’s election. If this aide abused the power of government office, this aide should be fired. What the heck was Paterson’s role in this anyway.

    I’ve read that the Obama administration has been ‘coordinating’ this move to force out Patterson because he can’t win. Guess he finally caved, but given Chicago style politics from the WH you can’t help wonder what they gave him for backing out.

    Rogue Cheddar: Would that be like the scene in “The Godfather” when the Hollywood producer gets an “offer he can’t refuse” as he wakes up with the head of his prize horse in bed with him?

    Paterson was bad. Coumo (a shoo-in unless I am very wrong regarding NY politics) will be much worse

    When a society lowers its morals and values, the elected officials reflect that; hence, more corruption and graft, and a tendency to violence with the hope of forgiveness and, as a last resort, rehab. Eventually it will become accepted, and then totalitarism sets in. Wrist slaps and giving up re-election bids aren’t enough punishment.

    With Patterson out of the running, barring a miracle the GOP sadly has virtually no chance of winning the NY governorship this fall. And with a worthless RINO Republican challenger in the running, any surprise victory will ensure that New York State continues to deteriorate.

    He doesn’t have the cajones…that’s why he has Rahm. BHO would probably swoon then pass out at the sight of blood.

    I wasn’t going to vote for Paterson in November, but as a New Yorker, I have to say that for a Democrat he wasn’t entirely terrible. He at least understood the notion that sometimes government programs need to be cut. I doubt little Cuomo will.

    Anyway, Paterson crossed Obama and his cronies so they destroyed him. I do feel bad for the guy a little. I hope Rick Lazio finds a way to take the fight to Cuomo. Otherwise this state is going from screwed to double screwed.
