Cuomo vs. Paterson for Governor of New York

Andrew Cuomo would make a terrific candidate and a great governor. Hopefully, he will run against Governor Paterson in 2010, and Andy should easily win the governorship. Paterson made a huge mistake by not appointing Cuomo as New York's Senator after Caroline Kennedy had dropped out. Such an excellent appointment would have won the respect of the entire state -- for both Paterson and Cuomo. Now, by appointing a second-stringer to the New York Senate seat, Paterson's statewide approval rating is dropping like a rock.
