Paterson has a FIFTEEN PERCENT APPROVAL RATING!!! HIS NEGATIVES ARE CLOSE TO 2/3 IN SOME POLLS!!! I am tremendously respectful that Gov. Paterson has supported our cause, and I would support his right to run for re-election, but the statewide support is not there! It has nothing to do with his marrigae equality stance or that he is African-American. These untractable negatives are a result of how he became Governor, a believe a bit because of discrimination due to his disability, the reality he inherited a disasterous economic/budget situation (wrong place, at the wrong time), the reveal of his drug use and extra-marital affairs IMMEDIATELY after he took office(too soon after Raw Dog Client # 9), and this horrible horrible Democratic Senate we have in place that wants to make the Governor look bad for the sake of making themselves look better in some way (which is hard because half of these elected idiots are the worst examples of elected officials in the history of elective government, our founding fathers are spinning in their graves!). @SAM

Cuomo could run on his stellar Attorney General record and will have a leg up on Guiliani and will win with a large mandate including to issue an up or down vote on Same-Sex Marriage in the Senate which is something Patterson doesn't have; a Mandate. 2010 will be an anti-incumbency year with the economy still forecast to be in the toilet. This is the only path to Gay Marriage in New York, unfortunately. It's about winning, not looking good! Governor Patterson should step aside and allow Andrew Cuomo to become the incumbent Governor.

While he can't guarantee that the Senate will keep their promises, he at least is forcing them to go on record as obstructionists if they don't debate and vote. I for one will be working for Patterson's re-election campaign. Thank you Governor Patterson for showing the US what a genuine Fierce Advocate looks like.

That would get their attention. I think folks should go chain themselves to the doors of the Senate chamber, while they’re in session, and refuse to let them out until there’s a vote.
