Run Pat, Run
On Friday February 26, 2010, New York City Governor David Paterson announced his withdrawal for the November election. This news should not be a shock for anyone who was watched the news at least twice a week.
If we all remember Governor Paterson was not elected to office, thanks to ex-governor Spitzers’ prostitution scandal. Therefore, it’s not a surprise that his party he was treated like an ill gotten step-child.
It seemed as if the Democratic Party wanted Paterson to step down as early as last year. Paterson’s approval rating went from 75 percent to a whopping 17 percent. It’s stated that the reason for Gov. Paterson early retirement was due to numerous scandals one involving his top aide.
I do not believe that these are the only reasons why he is withdrawing his role in office. In 2008, Governor Paterson endorsed Hillary Clinton over our now President. Last September, our now President Obama asked Governor Paterson to halt his fervor for office. Paterson is not wanted in the Democratic Party.
So, what do you do if someone thinks you are incapable of anything proficient? Prove them wrong or in Governor Patersons’ case, quit.

It must be hard
To have everyone against you and feel like you are not wanted by your own party. You would think that being from a large community such as New York that he would be able to find some support. We can say that he is a quitter but what would we do in his situation?

@Amo: Stepping down to me just seems like an easy step for many politicians these days. Quitting is in fact their best friends. I honestly want a politician that when given a job or duty will see it through. He was not elected to office but he made a decision to be sworn in. No one made him.
As for electing politicians who are not tainted. I fear that by the time they are a year office they will be.

Excellent article…however, with all due respect I strongly believe he should step down. And you outlined the reasons why, within your own article. He was not elected to office, and he’s completing the term of another scandal riddled governor.
His approval rating has plunged to 17%, he’s currently being investigated for giving out a lucrative contract to a questionable gaming company, he’s also being investigated for using his office in an attempt to block an on going investigation of one of his top aids, it’s also been reported by his own staff that he’s been distracted from performing his duties as governor.
With all that’s going on with corruption and ineptness by politicians, both in New York City and in Washington, don’t you think its time to elect honest, forthright people to elective office who are not tainted? Don’t the people who actually pay the salaries of these clowns deserve better?

Yes, it is hard to have everyone against you. However, isn't it worse to quit. Stick it out, i wanted him to show the nay sayers what he is made off. I would have stuck it out despite the fact. If not a quitter, then what is he?
