A special election is necessary for House seats. As the district is the most conservative in NY State (in an Upstate district), it’s highly unlikely that this stays in Dem control.

Whether it becomes an R seat before the health care vote is unlikely - as Gov. Paterson (D) controls the date of the special election.

It's not as if Patterson has any love for Obama or just about any other Democrat right now. After all, they are the ones roasting him, not the pubbies...

So now we know why Democrats are trying to get Paterson to resign now!

Paterson hates Obama and the health care bill.

There won't be an appointment before the health care bill but only because Andy Cuomo keeps hiding Paterson's pens.

Governor Paterson is under pressure himself...he could schedule and early election just to spite those who are pressuring him!
