New York Governor David Paterson announced today that he will not be seeking re-election in light of escalating scandals surrounding him and his political team. I can't say I'm very surprised, but after the Eliot Spitzer scandal broke, one hoped that his replacement would embody the ethics, morals and values we should expect from those who represent us politically. But, I guess in the land of the morally challenged (see: Rangel, Clinton, Meeks, Monserrate, Parker) trying to find someone of worth might be like trying to find good grits and fried okra on 5th Avenue.
Anyway, I guess in the long run, Paterson simply heeded the request of his master in the White House like a good dog should. . .
