New York Gov. Paterson defers to Senate leader on gay marriage (Homosexual loss)

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- New York Democratic Gov. David Paterson says he'll go along with whatever the Senate's Democratic leader decides is the best way to win passage of legislation to legalize gay marriage.

Both Paterson and Sen. Malcolm Smith of Queens back the legislation. Paterson has urged putting it on the floor of the Legislature for debate and an uncertain vote. But Smith wants to wait until he secures the 32 votes needed for passage in his chamber, and he has been missing a few.

Talking to reporters Wednesday, Paterson says Smith "knows the inertia of the Senate better than anyone" and he'll "stick with his final judgment."

The "Pink Hand" has been slowed down in New York State due to the fact that some Upstate Democrats still have not been able to brain wash the upstate voters into accepting this abomination agaist God and humanity.

Based on the polls - Son of Sam or Dinkins could beat Paterson in the next election.

My guess is Paterson realized he will lose even bigger if he backs gay marriage.

“New York Democratic Gov. David Paterson says he’ll go along with whatever the Senate’s Democratic leader decides is the best way to win passage of legislation to legalize gay marriage.”

He’ll take the straddle.

This Paterson dude is way over his head as governor. What a classic example of the Peter Principle.

Kind of reminds you of the current administration in Washington.

Is Patterson a closet gay-wad, or WHAT?
