Paterson signs up for another term

Governor David Paterson chose an interesting venue to make formal his interest in a second term. Interviewed by the liberal HuffingtonPost on-line newsletter, Paterson said the following:

I'd like to run for reelection and serve as governor as a full term, have an actual transition period and a real inauguration.

I see this as an immense challenge, and one that most people think is insurmountable with the number of people leaving New York state.

And if in any way it would have been viewed that I did something to ameliorate the problems...and brought people back, I would think that would be a satisfaction that I carried with me for the rest of my life.
