Paterson Supporters Suspicious Of Cuomo

2009_04_cuopater.jpg Politicker NY reports that those in Governor Paterson's corner "are accusing Attorney General Andrew Cuomo of deliberately undermining the governor in the press." A Paterson 2010 campaign staffer said, "Every time there is good news for the governor, there comes along a less-positive story that seems to have some fingerprints back to Andrew Cuomo." One less-positive story is how watchdogs want an ethics investigation of how Paterson's staff leaked ultimately false information about why Caroline Kennedy dropped out of the Senate bid. Assemblyman Keith Wright pointed out that the head of one of the watchdog groups, Blair Horner of NYPIRG, "used to work for Andrew, and I'm not saying Andrew Cuomo is part and parcel to any sort of grand conspiracy theory, but you have to look at relationships. Some of our good-government groups may not be all that pure." On the other hand, it's widely believed Paterson's handling of the Senate bid was terrible.

Given Paterson's awful approval ratings, Cuomo must be keeping very busy spinning all that bad news.

Patterson has supporters?

Why not? Believe it or not, Dubya still does, too.
