Spitzer picks State Senator as his running mate.
Eliot Spitzer, Current NYS Attorney General & now Candidate for NYS Governor has selected NYS State Senator David Patterson from Harlem. Paterson is an interesting political player. He has a lot of passion & will add that to the ticket. Paterson is the Minority leader of the State Senate & the Democratic Leader. Paterson will help Spitzer attract African American voters to the Spitzer ticket. Paterson also has a knowledge of how to reform Albany.
This will be a most interesting decision. It will be interesting to see how Nassau County Executive Thomas Suozzi reacts to this move.
Paterson has been vocal on reforming the way business gets done at the Capitol, as well as repealing the state's Rockefeller-era drug sentencing laws.
Time will only tell as far as this move is concerned.
