Paterson Trying To “Get My Story Out”

November

Gov. David Paterson this morning said he doesn’t feel empowered that President Obama was unsuccessful in helping Democrats win governor’s races in New Jersey and Virginia, which could dampen the White House’s attempts to have Paterson back away from a run next year.

“I don’t feel empowered by any Democratic losses. I support Democrats and I support the president,” Paterson said on “Morning Joe” on MSNBC.

Paterson said his new television ads are aimed at telling his story and also to beat back the anti-incumbency movement that took place Tuesday.

“How could I be empowered? Every incumbent suffered shocking challenges in just the past couple of days. That doesn’t empower me at all,” Paterson said. “That’s why I’m trying to get my story out that I have kept New York’s finances stable in very very difficult times.”

And how does he plan to pay for all of this – by appealing to lobbyists and special interests to fill up his coffers while promising at least a year’s worth of whatever influence he can garner?
