You severely misunderestimate the stupidity of a vast majority of voters in New York. These are people who are stupid enough to send 3 different non-residents to the US Senate, as well as continue voting for tax-and-spend liberals year after year after year.
As a NY resident, normally I would agree with you. However, Paterson’s approval rating is in the teens and has been steadily dropping. He will not be re-elected.
That doesn’t mean we’ll get a Republican governor, though. Attorney General, Andrew Cuomo will probably win the Democrat nomination (I’m predicting Paterson won’t even run) and would probably beat any Republican, except Rudy Giuliani, who would give him a very, tough fight.
Does this do any real good, though?
Probably not but CHEERS to a man having the guts to take this on. We have been called racists for so long we find ourselves allowing this sort of treatment to go on without protest.
