Yesterday's scrum in New York City with money people and boss Democrats apparently did not go well for New York governor David Paterson, and the Post says he will now not run for (re)election this year. (Paterson is said to be making an announcement at 11:30, which probably means "sometime after lunch.") This is kind of a good thing? His campaign was not going to be pretty, it was also going to be expensive, and it was just going to make us all feel bad. But it was a necessary thing! So right now Andrew Cuomo is totally giving himself his morning oiling down while giving himself a pep talk in the mirror: "You're lookin' sexy, babe. You're great, bro. You've got this governorship on lockdown. Just look how awesome and gubernatorial your hair is looking!" This is not at all ideal but here we are.

Why Cuomo? Isn't there anybody else?
Damn you New York Democrats! You're making me miss Pataki.
Bite your tongue! Really?
Hey now.
Can we get Harold Ford, Jr. to run for that too?
Thank God the way is cleared for us once again to be governed by someone who rose based on his family connections! I was worried that NY's nepotism quotient was getting a little low, although the Cy Vance win certainly helped in that regard.
Well, I guess in my rush to snark, I forgot that Paterson's father was a pol too so I guess we already the nepotism thing kinda covered.
I feel scrummy :(
Once Cuomo finishes giggling and dancing around, wonder if it will occur to him to recuse himself from the upcoming investigation?
Probably not.
Cuomo seems more the type to let out a girlish chuckle rather than a giggle while dancing around during his morning pep talk.
Um, HUGE mistake in the tags section, where you could have made us all cringe by coining the term "brovernor".
Cuomo's no shoo-in, given the memory of his father and his own history in Albany and DC. I have a theory that this is all about the Clinton's. Any time there's a take-down of a politician like this in NY, look for the Clinton's fingerprints.
Wait til they start digging deeper into Cuomo. DP will seem like an appetizer.
Another tough guy attorney general for governor...?!
