Hurray for David Paterson
No Mcclurkin lurkin in his closet. He is progressive, anti death penalty and very LGBT friendly. Just for starters. What has this to do with primaries you ask? Well - he was lined up for Hillary's senate seat should she become president. (OK a bit of a stretch.)

1. BTW, Hillary will lose a super-delegate
Patterson supports Hillary, but he will be replaced by a republican.

2. He can't be a SD if he becomes governor?

whether Spitzer retains that status after resigning and with the cloud of scandal over his head is another matter, though.

10. So he's only supporting her so he could be Senator?
BTW, I know Bruno would become the Lt. Governor.

It's the first time I've heard it. I think he's supporting her because she's from NY. The entire NY delegation is supporting Hillary.

12. All the signs are good
He is a middle ground finder EXCEPT on certain important matters of conscience. Gay rights for one.

14. He was a superdelegate by virtue of his DNC position; he will be replaced by a Dem

On the DNC. It had nothing to do with his Lt Gov seat. So it's possible his DNC replacement would be a Clinton supporter...or not. So she MAY lose a superdelegate.

6. First legally blind governor
He is legally blind. I believe that is a first for a governor.

9. Oh c'mon: you know he's only where he is because he's blind
... and because he's a black male!

8. Hillary's seat is safely in Hillary's hands until she retires from the Senate
due to old age and spiritual meanness.
