Poor, Poor Paterson Pummeled In Poll

From the Post: "Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has opened up a staggering 59-point lead over Gov. Paterson after the embattled governor spent $500,000 on personal TV ads aimed at trying to fix his image... Cuomo extended his already massive lead over Paterson in a potential primary next year for the state's top job. The poll found Cuomo would beat his fellow Democrat 75-16 in a hypothetical 2010 match-up, according to the statewide Siena Research Institute."

New York: where the family name gets it done.

The more Paterson gets beat up on, the more I kind of like him. He started out as a typical politician, and thrust in the position he's in he did what any of them would have done (Cuomo included), especially on economic issues. I keep hoping he'll wake up one day, realize there's no hope, go off the reservation, and say what he really thinks.

Nope, because he really is THAT bad.

The more he gets pummeled the more he tries to anticipate what he SHOULD say, and fucks it up.
