The Whole Delivery

If you live in New York, and especially in New York City, you may have seen all those commercials about David Paterson, being out of nowhere, "strong." Like this Well, despite coming out in support of Gay Marriage in New York State, Paterson was unable to get the notorious Albany Senate in line to vote for it. It failed : The New York State Senate has defeated a bill to legalize gay marriage, voting 38 to 24. The Senate shot down the bill after two and a half hours of debate this afternoon, during which no Republicans spoke. New York's other legislative body, the state assembly, had approved the bill in May by a vote of 89 to 52. Gov. David Paterson (D) supported the measure. He called a special session in November for the Senate to consider the bill and vote on budget measures to reconcile a $3.2 billion deficit. His own party wasn't even unified , as 8 idiots voted against it. Now I don't know if I can even fault Paterson for this, since he did support gay marr...

Writing his political will "I understand the president's concern and I understand concern of staff members at the White House. If you look at it from their perspective, they haven't exactly been able to govern in the first year of their administration in the way that other administrations have, where you would have, theoretically, a period in which the new administration is allowed to pass the needed pieces of legislation." -- New York Gov. David Paterson (D), quoted by Politicker NY , on the White House not wanting him to run for re-election next year. This story just won't go away .
