Over my dead body!

A defiant Gov. Paterson vowed today that he'd leave office early early only if he's hauled off "in a box."

"Let me let you know this: The only way I'm not going to be governor next year is at the ballot box, and the only way I'll be leaving office before is in a box," Paterson said during a news conference.

"Actually, the more frustrated I get, the more I know I am going to be running" in November, he added.

May the hand of God protect Gov. Paterson. I hope he doesn’t regret saying that!

Unfortunately, the Democrats in Albany have lots of practice in stuffing things into ballot boxes.

I hope he doesn’t regret it either. As misguided as he may be, he’s at least trying to cut spending - something the elected idiots don’t seem to understand.

Whoever is behind this sudden story is trying to stop the primary from happening. There needs to BE a primary - Gigglebritches needs to know she ain’t secure in that seat!

Don't let Hillary or Bill hear you say that!

The governor just doesn't see what he has placed in front of him by stating such does he.

Looks like the NYTs tried to bluff Paterson into resigning.

I’m glad he stood his ground.

The NYT works for the POTUS not for the governor.

Liberal bloggers have been saying that the NY Times story is an expose about the Governor and his wife being swingers and having swinger sex parties in the Governor’s mansion.

“As misguided as he may be, he’s at least trying to cut spending...”

He even sent a proposal for term limits to the legislature after bashing them for corruption and protection of sacred cows.

He doesn’t seem to be one of those psycho liberals. While I don’t agree with him on much, I have to hand it to him for guts, not being an Obama puppet and standing up for what he believes in. He’s certainly earned my respect.
