My gal Hillary is going to lose a super delegate...NY Gov Paterson

[ElsewheresDaughter]

I'm sick....at first I posted as "Obama is going to lose a super delegate" I thought Paterson had switched to Obama....I was wrong. Obama had only "called him and asked him to switch"


deep sigh


Gov. Paterson says he's reimbursed his campaign for two hotel stays he can't explain while his aides' review found several cases where he used campaign money to pay for men's suits, furniture and bar tabs.

The reimbursements come after Paterson admitted to the Daily News that he may have used his campaign credit card to pay for a hotel visit with one of his lovers.

At the same time, Paterson's aides accused reporters of sexism for raising questions about campaign payments to women.

"In some cases the inquiries have bordered on sexist," said Errol Cockfield, Paterson's spokesman. "The governor has sought to be forthright. We've been very open and honest about these matters."

The personal payments, all of which Paterson later repaid, surfaced in an internal review by the governor's campaign lawyer, Henry Berger.

The payments included two overnights at the Quality Hotel on the Upper West Side paid for by Paterson's campaign. In both cases, Paterson said he can't recall the circumstances of the stay or even who stayed at the hotel on those nights.

"With two exceptions, we have found that all of the itemizations we examined seem to be proper," Berger said.

In trying to explain why he reimbursed a $1,430 American Express bill paid by his campaign, Paterson admitted several of the charges were for personal items such as clothing at the Men's Warehouse, items at the Taft Furniture Warehouse and drinks at an upper Manhattan bar called The Den.

1. I thought he was a Clinton delegate.

[malta blue]

4. He is a Clinton supporter...eom

[trained specialist]

136. This will be his last term as governor

if he pulls a funny like that.

[grantcart]

9. He is the OP is put out by a person who is completely unfazed by technical things

like facts

[tokenlib]

2. Paterson's a Clinton SD n/t

[Egnever]

Haha ooops!

too funny!

[grantcart]

3. You do realize that Patterson has endorsed Clinton

http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/05/14/clinton.obama.endorsements/index.html

[ElsewheresDaughter]

7. no he endorsed Obama

[Egnever]

14. man talk about head in the sand

At a rally in Albany, New York, Clinton was endorsed by a veritable who's who of Democratic leaders in her adopted home state, including Gov. Eliot Spitzer, Lt. Gov. David Paterson and Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, the son of former Gov. Mario Cuomo.

[PATRICK]

149. Everyone endorsed Clinton

in NY. It is part of our change to a really successful united party. Have a heart. Even people who would actually be hurt by her candidacy endorsed her.

He is a decent guy. When the superdelegate shift has to happen he will be there for Obama and always for the common good. If you didn't need a reminder of his vulnerable new position lately the hit piece small potato article should clue you in. By personal nature and by present overwhelming circumstance he cannot get out in front much on the national duel. NY pols as a whole would like to be the last to wound their own Senator, especially after losing Spitzer.

It is LOSING Spitzer and his macho control over Wall Street and big donors that is the biggest sea change here. Like Bill, it is the story of yet another stumbling big guy letting Hillary down.

[scheming daemons]

16. No... you are absolute WRONG..... he's listed as one of the Clinton SDs....

looks like hilly will be the one losing an SD if Paterson goes down. Now why would you assume he endorsed Obama? hmmm. And your smug OP just blew up in your smug face. What a shame.

[grantcart]

Maybe they assumed the Obama slate was actually their slate?

Previously, Paterson had been mentioned as a possible successor to Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton should Clinton win the Democratic nomination and also the 2008 U.S. presidential election.<33><34> Paterson is currently a Democratic party national convention superdelegate and has endorsed Clinton.<35>

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Paterson

Oh, and another!

Paterson is also at odds with most of the black community regarding his presidential choice. Like Spitzer, Paterson endorsed Hillary Clinton and campaigned for her enthusiastically. He was also widely regarded as likely to be picked by Spitzer to replace Clinton in the U.S. Senate if she were elected president or vice president. If Clinton does win, that choice now will be in Paterson’s hands.

Obama Calls NY's Paterson

Mar 14, 2008

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — David Paterson, who on Monday will be New York's first black governor, received a call of congratulations from Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, where they chuckled over a political conspiracy that won't be.

Paterson has campaigned for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton — Obama's rival for the nomination — and remains a supporter. On Monday, Paterson will succeed Gov. Eliot Spitzer, who is resigning amid an investigation involving a high-priced call girl. Obama's call came Wednesday, shortly after Spitzer announced he would step down.

"I know Senator Obama and he just called to congratulate me and to extend, through me, his heartfelt sadness to the Spitzer family," Paterson said Friday.

Obama leads Clinton in the delegate race for the nomination and both candidates are aggressively courting the superdelegates who could determine who gets the nod. As a superdelegate, Paterson is in Clinton's column. Spitzer was a Clinton superdelegate, but she will lose that vote with his resignation.

Paterson, who said there was no pressure from Obama to switch, relayed a light comment by a mutual friend who said he should flip and endorse Obama, an Illinois senator who hopes to the first black president. Pundits had speculated that if Clinton became president, Spitzer might appoint Paterson to fill her U.S. Senate term.

"I said, 'No, that's not why I supported Hillary Clinton,'" Paterson told Obama. "She and I are very good friends and I think she will be the best president.'"

"He laughed. He knows I'm very committed to Senator Clinton," said Paterson. "When I sign up to support a candidate, it's to the end. I actually supported Custer, but I did leave right before the attack."

Clinton plans to attend Paterson's swearing-in on Monday.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

92. ZOMG

She does it again.

[Occam Bandage]

95. You were prescient.

[Occam Bandage]

93. You're hilarious, you know that? That's the exact same article I posted. And in that

exact same article, it claims that Obama called Patterson, but that it was purely a call of congratulations, and "there was no pressure from Obama to switch."

[Bonobo]

103. I think she should call it a day. Oh, and I wouldn't drive today either. Could be dangerous. nt

[tammywammy]

94. Your edit says Obama asked him to switch

The article says that it was a congratulatory call, not a call to switch.


You should really just stop posting for a while, you're not helping yourself here.

[Occam Bandage]

97. That article also has Paterson saying that it was not a call to switch. ED just did it again.

[tammywammy]

100. I know I know

:rofl:

[cali]

99. She can't help herself, poor pitiful thing

she just pulls stuff out of thin air. Sad case.

[Tatiana]

114. "Paterson, who said there was no pressure from Obama to switch"

Obama pressured Paterson to switch!

118. heh

[Whisp]

87. thanks for fixing the OP.

sorry we all ganged up on you like that.
I really don't like making people feel bad.
but Idon't mind whipping those that don't have any sense of fairness.

[grantcart]

91. well yes but if you go up thread you will notice that we tried to tell her

nicely and even gave her a link so she could check it out but she is always so sure of hereself you can't talk to her. In this case it showed how uninterested she is in dialogue.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

101. and if you can stop thumping your chest a sec and go upstream to post 51

[grantcart]

105. I saw it but the point remains - what happened in this thread is typical

of what happens in other threads - you don't listen to facts - I tried to help you by giving you a thread you could check and make a quick change but you refuse to to listen to other people.

[tammywammy]

106. And I refer you to post 3 and 5

Post 3 clearly gave you a link showing you were wrong. Post 5 was your reply, when you obviously didn't look at the link, stating that Patterson endorsed Obama. Post 3 was helping you so you could fix your OP.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

108. And then down to 98.

:rofl:

[Occam Bandage]

109. The fact that you later realized that you were arguing out your ass doesn't really change

the fact that you were arguing out your ass, especially when you did it again downthread.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

113. you know what.....

piss off

I am so sick off your mean snarky replies

you just earned #2 on my ignore list

[grantcart]

124. This is your idea of dialogue you are the queen of snark

quoting you
7. are you from NY?...no then STFU!
end of quote

There was no provocation to this at all.

I just found this snarky reply on a thread that I had which wondered about what Patterson was doing as a Clinton superdelegate that was costing Clinton a superdelegate.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5187317&mesg_id=5187317

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

127. Hmm.

So according to the time stamp she knew Patterson was a Clinton delegate before her OP.

[grantcart]

141. No she misread the article in which I wonder why a Clinton supporter

doesn't resign his DNC seat and in effect give Obama a superdelegate. She misread that as being that he in fact was a superdelegate.

That pissed her off and she told me to shut the fuck up and then started looking for dirt on Patterson not realizing that he was a

Clinton supporter - very revealing actually.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

121. Welcome to the club.

[Occam Bandage]

133. She paints herself into corners, and then puts the paintbrush on Ignore.

[Occam Bandage]

102. It ain't a fix. Her excuse was that Obama called and asked Paterson to switch. That is incorrect.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

110. read post 98...Obama did call Paterson and asked him to switch

[Occam Bandage]

111. You know what you should do? Read post 98. And then look for where it says

that Obama asked Paterson to switch. Warning: you may be looking for a very long time.

For a hint, read post #102.

[grantcart]

135. I figured out what happened she misread my thread from yesterday about Patterson

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5187317&mesg_id=5187317


and this was her response


http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5187317&mesg_id=5194720

[tammywammy]

112. No it doesn't

It says
"who said there was no pressure from Obama to switch"

No pressure. Obama didn't ask him to switch. If he had asked him to switch then there would have been "pressure"

[Debi]

116. Stop with all the damn facts and honesty

too much, I tell ya

[tammywammy]

119. It actually makes me sad

If her reading comprehension is that poor.

[Debi]

125. I think it's more pride and lack of desire to admit she may have been wrong twice

in the same thread.

[tammywammy]

140. Yes, I see that as well

This is the funniest thread all day!

[Debi]

146. I've bookmarked it for those not so funny days when I need a boost

:hi:

[tammywammy]

147. Oh me too

And for the next thread when someone says Obama supporters refuse to look at facts. ;)

[Whisp]

115. yes, I know.

just a bit and only for a while.
until she unfairly slams Obama again.

[BumRushDaShow]

123. K&R

When I first saw the original ridiculous headline on this thread about Obama "loosing" Patterson as SD, I clicked it and of course had forgotten that the OP is on my ignore list. Logging out to read the thread, I of course saw yet another arrogant post, which underscored why I did the ignore. Even with people attempting to help, the OP refused to budge until a significant time had passed...

So I kick this back up to the top and will reinstate the ignore. :kick:

Time to take a break lady.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

128. okay I'm going to lick my wounds now....carry on, have fun

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

131. Consider this an opportunity to learn from your mistakes.

Try not to make them again.

[tammywammy]

137. When people nicely point out that you're wrong

You should admit that you're wrong, instead of defending what you said as right. That's a good lesson to learn.


BTW, can you not edit your OP again, since Obama didn't call Patterson and ask him to switch endorsements?

[Occam Bandage]

142. Another good lesson to learn: when you're caught being wrong, admit it fully. Don't make shit up

to give yourself an easier out. And for God's sakes, if you've humiliated yourself once in a thread, make sure you are not lying when you confidently challenge someone else further down.

[NorthernSpy]

130. HA ha! You got it wrong and had to make stuff up to cover your ass!

[dailykoff]

138. Yes, this sounds like a Clinton supporter.

Nice while it lasted.

[onenote]

139. I never rec threads. But this one is so doggone entertaining, I had to make an exception!!

[Celebration]

143. heh heh

k&r

[Celebration]

145. This needs to be at the top of the greatest page

Come on guys, recommend!!

[Hav]

152. .

I don't really like to say it, but after reading the kind of comments you usually post and then seeing the development of this thread, I just have to say that it's fully deserved. When one is blinded by hate, there really isn't much place for common sense, I suppose.
It's also somehow interesting that one would find glee in such a potential scandal when a Republican could be next in line to become the Governor of New York.

[Occam Bandage]

153. K&R for epic fail.

[mdmc]

154. The OP is a real good person

and should take comfort that Paterson won't be banned from being a superdelegate.

[grantcart]

158. I believe that in fact is true and part of the sadness of the Hillary campaign is that

it is the supporters who end up having to carry water on points that are increasingly bizarre or irrational.

[book_worm]

155. She did lose a super delegate--Spitzer! Patterson was already a HRC super delegate

and now Spitzer as a ex-Gov is no longer a super delegate and Patterson was and is a super delegate so net gain nothing and net loss one.

[L0oniX]

156. Hillarat needs to quit now. She has no chance of winning. The only reason she is ...

still in the race is because the MSM needs bullshit to feed the talking heads. Even the talking heads know it is over. All she can do now is hurt and divide the party which IMO she doesn't give a flying fuck about. It's time for her to stop. Everyone who is supporting her on this board is damaging the democratic party and should be joining with the Obama supporters so we can win the GE. No amount of kool aid is going to change the chances of her winning. Obama has the popular vote and has the majority of the delegate votes. We don't need to wait for the fat cat super delegates. Get a damned grip and join in with us so we can stop the repukes from destroying what is left of this country and its constitution.

[JTFrog]

160. If at first you FAIL...

[ForeignSpectator]

[marshall]

162. Who assumes Paterson's former SD spot?

He was already a SD thanks to his Lt Gov position. Now that he will be voting as governor, who will vote in the Lt. Gov spot? My understanding is a Republican was in line to assume the Lt Gov position, but he will of course not assume the SD spot. So is there just one less SD or do they find another high ranking party member in New York?

163. currently there is no Lt. Gov. and there is no legal way right now

to appoint one.
Basically, NYS lost one SD.

164. That is not correct. He was not a super delegate because he was a lt gov

he was DNC superdelegate who in this case happened to fill a superdelegate position


He could have resigned his superdelegate position and the NY state dem party could have appointed another superdelegate.

165. That's what I thought, too but...

He wasn't a DNC member elected from NY. He was an at-large member appointed by Chairman Dean. I read somewhere that he's not resigning his DNC position so it doesn't seem there will be a replacement and he won't get two votes I don't imagine.
