Even though Patterson may be the worst governor since Dinkens

Dinkins was mayor of NYC, not governor of NY.

Well, then I guess that makes Patterson the worst governor ever.

Good for Patterson. He is a typical liberal machine politics stooge but I would take him over Obama as POTUS any day. Stand up to O Patterson. Don’t take orders from that half-white, 1/4 African, 1/4 Arab boy.

Amazing. Obama thinks he can call up states and tell people who needs to not run in which races?

He just did this in Colorado too. Political neophyte, Michael Bennet, was appointed to fill the remainder of Ken Salazar's US Senate term. Early this week former dem speaker of the Colorado House, Andrew Romanoff, has announced that he will run against Bennet for the dem nomination for 2010. Two days later, Obama stuck his nose in and endorsed Bennet, because of all of Bennet's experience (6 months of political experience). He has some nerve.

As much as I think this guy is an idiot(all his racism charges)I applaud him for telling Bozo to stuff it. The President has no business deciding who can run for office.

I guess I can see things his way, after all, even a blind pig will find an A.C.O.R.N. from time to time. Paterson should look Obama in the eye, and stare him down.

I haven’t heard much news on this race. Is Rudy still playing coy on whether he’s going to run?

Should make for entertaining political theater. Hope he stays to the bitter end.

There are several of you people who keep harping on this. It makes you look silly. 90% of the black people I know are part white or some other race, and those that don't know for sure suspect they are mixed. What makes Bozo "not black" in the sense he tries to portray himself(the "black experience, etc.)is that he never lived it, and actually spent a large part of his youth in a country where he was not discriminated against.

When he moved to the USA he lived with white grandparents and went to schools where prejudice just didn't exist to any large degree. He is not black in that sense. In the sense that he is no different blood wise than most other American blacks he is black.

Here's the bottom line, Blacks who are dark in color are stilled called blacks, they are never called white, even blacks who are lilly white(and there are some)are called blacks. It has always been that way in America, if a person has one drop of black blood they are called black.

Stop trying to portray him as a phony on those grounds, he is phony enough on other grounds that are legitimate, no need to look like a fool saying he "isn't" black because he has white blood and maybe Arabic(which is white BTW)blood.

Should I wear my pimp costume to add to my credibility?

You could do that at the voting booth. I'm sure they'll allow you to vote several times. I'll be wearing my Black Panther garb. Just picked it up at Party City.

"What is O’s reason for not wanting him to run?Something devious maybe? A favor owed to Hiltery?"

Knowing how O and Co. run things, something just doesn't seem right to me. The thought has crossed my mind that this was orchestrated to get Patterson's poll numbers up.

Since O's numbers are in the tank and quite a few people dislike him, what better way to get your numbers up then make people think that the man they really, really don't like is trying to shaft you.

Just a thought.
