NY Gov: Clinton should stop Mich, Fla effort
By MICHAEL GORMLEY
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - New York Gov. David Paterson, a superdelegate who supports Hillary Rodham Clinton, said she's showing "a little desperation" and should give up her effort to coun
t votes from renegade primaries in Michigan and Florida.
Paterson said Thursday that Clinton shouldn't derail the process by which the national Democratic Party stripped Michigan and Florida of their national convention delegates because they moved their primaries up to January in violation of party rules. The rules were agreed to by all the candidates, including Clinton, before she won the two January contests. Because of the violations, no candidates campaigned in either state and her rival Barack Obama took his name off Michigan's ballot.
"I would say at this point we're starting to see a little desperation on the part of a woman I still support and will support until she makes a different determination," Paterson told WAMC-FM radio. "Candidates have to be cautious in their zeal to win that they don't trample on the process."
Paterson said he doubted his home-state senator would get the edge over Obama, even if the two states' votes were counted.

The good news is -- the man has the courage to offer this advice. The bad news is -- you know Hellary ain't gonna pay no never mind and will just keep stirring the 'disenfranchised voters' pot! ...or at least until the DNC offers to pay off her $30 million in campaign debts. Including of course - repaying her the $11 million she borrowed out of her own checking account.
Amazing how a gal who was hustlin' $100,000 beef futures just a few years ago now has ten million bucks layin' around in her checking account. And her and Bubba did it all on their public servant's wages too!.... Not!
