choice for lt governor…and it will be my job

In fact, he was 10 time the political wirepuller Paterson could ever dream of being. It was Wilson, a long-time Yonkers Assemblyman and Codes Committee Chair, who led Rockefeller through the State's GOP County Chairs in 1957 and 1958, instructing him on the day-to-day of Empire State politics. Together, they did a two-man, 62-county roadshow, beginning long before the Wyoming County chairman had any idea who Nelson Rockefeller. David Paterson is nothing more than a free rider who grabbed the brass ring on his way to an appointed seat in the US Senate, and he knows it. He'll keep his thoughts to himself and stay out of the grownups' way. The Consultant:

by betsy and so he wanted to make sure he didn’t run into the same problem…Patterson however is smart enough to understand who the people elected governor..he will be
a team player like malcolm wilson was when he served under
former governor rockefeller..However Pataki’s defensive
move was to again pick a non entity for a position which
can be important…justlike many of his picks for
boards and commissions…and that is one of the reason
he leaves with a 30% approval rating, his own party
in shambles, and no chance in the world of being nominated
