    oh, jeez. I am so glad I am not black just so I don't have to be embarrassed by this stupid shit. People want to keep Paterson out of the race because he sucks.

    I'm not convinced that the Governor is playing with a full deck of race cards.

    I thought it was because he was blind?

    Hey I missed it too, NYS is a fucked up place, I think he has done OK considering. I'm not sure A. Cuomo will do any better. Or Guiliani for that matter.
