David A. Paterson
Did you know:
Is legally blind,
The first non-white legislative leader in New York’s history,
New York’s first African-American lieutenant governor.
Paterson is a proponent of embryonic stem cell research.
In February 2008, a U.S. District Judge denied a motion to dismiss a $1.5 million racial discrimination lawsuit naming Paterson. A former staff photographer claims that in 2005 Paterson’s office replaced him with an African American because he is white. According to the New York Post, Paterson’s chief of staff “denied the claim… Paterson, in his deposition, countered that the decision… was simple politics – [the photographer] was a holdover from former Minority Leader Marty Connor, who was ousted by Paterson in 2003
What a world!
Florida Votes?
“The people of Florida have spoken and they have made the choice of lower taxes. Over 430,000 Independent voters came out in support of a Republican tax cut and a Charlie Crist/John McCain-style message of meaningful tax relief for families and businesses. Amendment 1 preserves the American Dream of Homeownership by placing this critical reform in our State Constitution.
I was wrong in my prediction and can’t figure out why Dole–sorry I mean McCain wins.
Have you?
OBAMA –- AND KENNEDY — RAISE THE STAKES
Barack Obama used his victory in South Carolina to change the dialogue with the Clintons in the presidential race. He has taken Hillary’s and Bill’s attempt to use the race issue and replied with a clever move. He has basically called their bluff.
And Ted Kennedy’s endorsement of Obama has ratified the Illinois Senator’s strategy and candidacy.
So far, to summarize: Move One was when Obama arrived as a new candidate. Move two was Hillary’s comeback that she is more experienced. Move three was when Obama pivoted off her experience message and said he was the voice of change. Move four was the Clintons’ attempt to inject race into the election. They counted on a racial split in South Carolina to make Super Tuesday about a black/white division.
This Tuesday is the Florida Primary. I am writing from Florida. I can tell you that at least 40% of the voters all ready voted, including me.
My predictions are as follows:
H. Clinton wins democrat
M. Romney wins Republican
Reduction in property taxes–Fails
sunday in South Florida
so, after last nights win by Hussein, I decided to vote today.
I was shocked at the turn out–that the media has not told you.
I had to wait over an hour to vote.
As many of you know the democrats decided not to allow their candidates to come here–No delegates–
Also, in Florida there is a property tax reduction vote.
The media says vote for property tax reduction means less money for the entitlement types.
There were no people around asking you to vote for their candidate.
Hardly anyone spoke English including the poll workers, one of whom I had to ask three times what they were saying.
In short–our country is on the verge of…
I’ll let you finish that.
