If Spitzer resigns Paterson replaces him.

According to this Vote Smart bio. He is a member of a Jewish blind association. He's a blind man?

I don't see much about him being a trail blazer or accomplishing much over the years in government. His personal life yes.

I also don't see the people of NY State electing him in the next election. Mr. McCall (past Controller) was a much better Afro-American candidate for governor and they rejected him. Pataki (NY-R) won the election for governor. We all know what a disaster that was for NYers.

We could lose that state to Republicans once again. Right now the Republicans are a majority in NY State government and are about to lose power.

I'd rather keep Spitzer frankly.

1. Paterson should do fine. If he does not, Andrew Cuomo could run and win in 2010

4. Paterson seems good.
He's supposed to be a consensus builder, and a lot of people are calling him a "good man". There was a good NYT piece about Paterson that gave him good reviews... but should Paterson stumble, hopefully Cuomo can step in when the time is right.

2. Spitzer must go, he is NOW a paraplegic duck.
