Elections and Speculations...just the beginning

Last night, New York Governor David Paterson said without a doubt that he will be running for governor next year in 2010. Paterson also said assuredly, that he is the only capable Democrat for this position in terms of winning the Democratic primary. So confident, so early in the game. But its good to have that view and not lose it. Every race/election is hard and up til the last minute, ANYTHING can happen. Such as the turtle and the hare, Hillary and Barack, Al and Norm (Minnesota), etc. And the possible people who might also run for NY Governor is Andrew Cuomo and Rudy Giuliani, according to NY1. Andrew Cuomo, the current State Attorney General, has always kept quiet whenever there are speculations of what post he will be running for next. And focuses on his current JOB instead! Thank goodness. Even when there were murmurs of him being offered Hillary's Senate position, he stayed out of the limelight and let Governor Paterson focus on his decision. And somehow Rudy's name joined the ring. I thought he was happy enough in the private industry. Rudy is famous worldwide and you always have to remind yourself that the highest political position he held was mayor. But being a NYC mayor is a job that crosses neighborhoods locally and internationally. We'll have to wait to see if any camps have any comments. The fun never stops.
