When Will Andrew Cuomo Announce His Candidcy for Governor of New York?

Even if the blacks aren't big on him, who cares? Who's going to beat him?

Besides I have a tough time seeing Paterson being insanely popular even among blacks.

Has there been a poll anyway showing Paterson's approval among blacks? I'm curious. I'm kind of wondering who the hell the 25% or so are, much like the 15% with Bob Taft.

The hardcore conservatives and teabaggers HATED Taft. Similarly I'm getting the same impression from hardcore liberals about Paterson.

The most likely explanation is people who are very partisan but generally apolitical, aka they always show up to vote for their party but don't really care about what happens after the election.

Doesn't Cuomo leader Paterson among blacks?

He swamps him among blacks.

Do you know anyone personally who likes Paterson?

The difference between the Spitzer/Paterson of 2006 and the Spitzer/Paterson of today has got to be one of the biggest declines in American political history.

Meh, I'd argue Patrick has been worse. Spitzer has handled everything post-resignation perfectly and is now a viable candidate again. I remember a very sympathetic TIME article about him recently. Paterson was never that big of a deal on the ticket. Even in terms of approvals, Arnold Schwarzenegger arguably did worse in his collapse.

So you just admitted to Moderate Heroism.
