He has an aid with a somewhat questionable past. Big whoop.

I guess Cuomo will still have a primary on his hands after all.

I read it last night.  Can you say BORING?!

Of course Governor Paterson has thugs working for him.  So what else is new.  This isn't even close to being an offense worth of resigning.  NEXT.

He's going to lose in the primary.  I just don't think a blind person can handle everything that is thrown at him, and voters think he is incompetent as well.

Damn.  That's quite a discriminatory take on the matter.  I really disagree with that assessment.  I don't think Patterson's blindness has anything to do with his ability to carry out his duties as governor.  I do agree that he's finished in the primary though.

Lame. Compare to Guiliani's close associate Kerik.

Actually, that wasn't the Paterson story. THIS is the Paterson story:

But after all the hype, it too isn't that damning.

No, this appears to be the big Paterson story:
