Gov. David Paterson makes it official: He's not running

So he's out and party regulars are lining up publicly behind Andrew Cuomo for Governor of New York. He was going to win anyway, but this makes it simpler and less contentious.
And I am sure the "investigation" will be perfunctory and find there was bad judgment but no criminal intent.
As for Andrew Cuomo, he is still being coy and says he will announce his intentions on his schedule.
Some are not satisfied with Paterson's refusal to step down and let the Lieutenant Governor Richard Ravitch finish out the year...
Must be Paterson wants to work in his legacy....The Soda Tax.

I'm sorry to see Governor Paterson be blamed for and take the fall for the state legislature's failures. I'd rather have seen his tenure last longer than most of them, since they are the ones who should be held accountable for the mess we're in and not him.

It's especially sad to see the media and lobbyists manipulate the public and convince them to misplace the blame on Governor Paterson.
