CNN

Keep increasing the state budget while revenues decline. This will make Patterson a dead duck but next year's primary.

Patterson is going to make Obama and CNN look very foolish. The alliance between the Marxist god and his propaganda arm is going to have their asses whipped by Patterson.

I like Governor Patterson......too bad the people of New York have such a negative view of him......it must be a money thing.......

As with most democrats, he is in huge trouble. Obama and Pelosi have ruined the democratic party.

Palin, Palin, Palin.. now another WH non-darling is bashed.
Enough, and the president tweetering in tweeter without "using" it is not a reason to Palinize him? The press is in a depressing state supporting government like in the soviet union....

Gov. Patterson will gain the people who have enough will power to listen to him during run up to debates.If they were listening to him now that would be interesting since he is being portrayed as an incompetant person especially during SNL Skits which hurt his image.Patterson will prove his knowledge and capabilities during debates.The LT.Gov is qualified to be Gov.Patterson is smart enough to convince those with a brain.Hopefully thats enough to get him elected.Gov Patterson has the smarts and integrity to get new york back on track.

Sarah Palin is bad for America. She spews bigotism, racism, divisive remarks and does not represent true christians. Christians don't talk like this.

if that doesn't work, he can always go back to the same old race card trick...works everytime.

He have to see it to believe it!

Paterson should have accepted the White House's request to go quietly. Then, maybe he could have at least gotten a decent job working for the administration. Now, he's gonna lose, and he's gonna be all alone.

Even YAHOO, which is does not claim to be a news organization, is reporting on Obama's bowing to the Japanese Emperor.

My question to CNN was if CNN was properly vetted before joining the Obama adminstration.

Time to send the big guns out........Obama, Biden and Bill Clinton. You mean people are wising up and voting out the Democrats?

Paterson SUCKS!!!!
As a New York resident I would like to say that Paterson should just fade into history as the guy who fell into the position of Governor on a goof.
Spitzer should have never resigned.

Well, if he wants to run for President, then he's gonna have to do better than that.

If I had to bet, no matter if its 2-5 months from now, Cuomo would take it. He's doing a heck of a job over there and he's calm, relaxed, patient, etc. He's just doing his job, he's not in the public waves and people trust him, beware Gov Paterson.

But I do, I think Cuomo is very impressive, he is. He's been doing his job and New Yorkers could not have asked for more. But I bet the GOP would ask him to run or consider it, I would if I were them.

Our family practically grew up with the Cuomos!!! I was born and raised in Queens and the Cuomos lived very near to us (NOT that near because we were in the ghetto). However, I remember my dad kind of campaigning for Mario. I've always liked Maro but I don't know too much about his son!!!

But according to his poll numbers – Paterson watch out!!! (NY PLEASSSSSSE do not let Rudy Giuliani get in there!!!

Paterson, please don't become a Corzine or lose to a McDonnell. Think about the party before yourself and make an alternative plan for the future.

The entire NYS Government is a joke. The state Senate took five weeks off this past summer, but now they are back in special session to develope even newer taxes and fees here in the land of taxes. This state has more agency directors and vice directors all make 100k plus. Every state worker has three dozen managers, directors, etc...The waste is everywhere yet this Governor and the state representitives are all beholding to the the unions and special interest groups, so nothing is cut.
Business and population are fleeing in droves from the state.

America coming to its senses?

This is like some idiot saying the battle between Governor Christ and Rubio would be a blood bath for the Republicans. What alot of hope and poop by this fool. Governor Christ was voted the worst Governor in the 50 states(not 57 states)as claimed by nobama. Keep reporting the left wing drivel and the GOP will roll over the demorats in 2010 and 2012. Conservatives will be supported by the independents after three more years of tax and spend demorats.

A creative journalist could've used the Rick Lazio reference in this article to get Palin involved. You could've said:

"He also trails former Rep. Rick Lazio in a 2010 ..... .. who ran against Hillary, who said she'd have coffee with ....Sarah Palin!

Another missed opportunity.

Mr. Steinhauser,

You are really lucky I'm not your boss. I'm surprised you got this story posted today without a Palin reference. You don't even have poll results for a hypothetical matchup between Paterson and Palin.

Consider yourself lucky to have slid this one past the big-cheese.

I heard Sarah Palin had breakfast this morning, but 6 out of 7 CNN readers either think she was lying about it or doesn't deserve to eat.

OMG, I don't know why Patterson is wasting his time and money on this race. It will take a miracle for him to win, like everyone else dropping out and that aint going to happen. President Obama tried to spare Patterson the embarrassment, but Patterson was not having any of that and will get destroyed!
