Hurray for David Paterson

[JoFerret]

No Mcclurkin lurkin in his closet.
He is progressive, anti death penalty and very LGBT friendly.
Just for starters.

What has this to do with primaries you ask?
Well - he was lined up for Hillary's senate seat should she become president.
(OK a bit of a stretch.)

[Renew Deal]

1. BTW, Hillary will lose a super-delegate

Patterson supports Hillary, but he will be replaced by a republican.

[Berzerkley]

2. He can't be a SD if he becomes governor?

[Spider Jerusalem]

4. He already is one....

whether Spitzer retains that status after resigning and with the cloud of scandal over his head is another matter, though.

[Renew Deal]

5. He already is one.

But Patterson's replacement will be a republican.

[Berzerkley]

10. So he's only supporting her so he could be Senator?

BTW, I know Bruno would become the Lt. Governor.

[Renew Deal]

11. I don't think so.

It's the first time I've heard it. I think he's supporting her because she's from NY. The entire NY delegation is supporting Hillary.

[JoFerret]

13. Bruno supporter perhaps?

.

[JoFerret]

3. But NY gains a potentially great governor

.

[Renew Deal]

7. I hope so.

I have high hopes for Patterson.

[JoFerret]

12. All the signs are good

He is a middle ground finder EXCEPT on certain important matters of conscience. Gay rights for one.

[MaineDem]

14. He was a superdelegate by virtue of his DNC position; he will be replaced by a Dem

On the DNC.

It had nothing to do with his Lt Gov seat. So it's possible his DNC replacement would be a Clinton supporter...or not.

So she MAY lose a superdelegate.

6. First legally blind governor

He is legally blind. I believe that is a first for a governor.

[frazzled]

9. Oh c'mon: you know he's only where he is because he's blind

... and because he's a black male!

[IndianaGreen]

8. Hillary's seat is safely in Hillary's hands until she retires from the Senate

due to old age and spiritual meanness.
