Paterson would be a fool to fall for Uncle Ted’s promises of pork largesse that he will unable to deliver once he is dead (most likely within 10-14 months). The smart play for Paterson is to appoint Andrew Cuomo, thus removing from the stage his only significant rival for election. But not sure if his cocaine-scarred mind will come to such a logical conclusion.
I disagree with you. If Patterson were a true patriot, he would appoint the hardest working, most successful congressperson in New York to the seat and kill nepotism. This country was founded to end dynastic rule.
