As Campaign Nears, Paterson Is Seen as Increasingly Remote

This article was reported by Danny Hakim, Serge F. Kovaleski and Nicholas Confessore and written by Mr. Hakim.

When a plane crashed outside Buffalo about 10:20 on a Thursday evening last year, killing 50 people, aides to Gov. David A. Paterson of New York could not find him for more than three hours, and it was nearly five hours before his office released any statement about what was the deadliest air disaster in the nation since 2001. Mr. Paterson later had difficulty explaining the delay and suggested that when trying to reach him an aide had been calling the wrong telephone.

Last summer, as some advisers warned him that he needed to travel around the state to shore up his poll numbers, Mr. Paterson spent long stretches in the Hamptons, relaxing with friends and mingling with wealthy donors and celebrities.

And last month, with the state facing a deadline to apply for $700 million in federal education aid, the governor waited until the last minute to try to bring lawmakers together to agree on a plan. His efforts failed, leaving the application in doubt. [Full Article]

I coulda told you that.

Hookers and blow..... That is my bet. $100 dollars on it anyone?

Reading through this my stomach is turning. This man is a disgrace not only to New York but to this nation. He's abused his seat in Gov't for his own personal gains and has left New York in one of the worst spots we've seen in years. I can only hope a deeper investigation leads to criminal charges brought against him.

I am on board with Tommy. I am sure knowing his previously colorful background which has been talked about in the media there has got to be a few things. I saw pictures from his event here on the island to kick off his reelection and is was baron(As expected). No one is behind this guy. Or at least very few.

He knows he can't win...latest poll has him like 45% behind Cuomo. Might as well milk some gullible donors for a few million while you have the chance.

Thank you Elliot Spitzer.

at least he's not sleeping around.
