David Paterson Cannot Govern And Run For Re-Election At The Same Time

This is the best that friend-to-nice-ladies David Paterson could come up with, explaining why he decided to exit the New York governor's race: "It has become increasingly clear to me in the last few days that I cannot run for office and try to manage the state's business at the same time." He has a point -- can you imagine any incumbent elected official trying to runagain, for the same office, while still on the job? A "re"-election campaign, we would likely call this frantic dystopian circus. HOW WOULD YOU SPLIT UP THE TIME! [ YouTube ]
