Patterson just used the media in conjunction with a bidding war between the Kennedys and the

[RB TexLa]

Coumos for Clinton's senate seat.

Wow.


On edit: I don't really think this is a question.

1. Do you know if Patterson had anything to do with it? nt

[sohndrsmith]

2. If you know anything of Paterson, I don't think you'd muse on this...

Just my opinion. I have growing respect for the mayor, and can see no way he would do something like this... none.

3. He's actually the governor, not the mayor n/t

[RB TexLa]

5. Bloomburg, the mayor who could be backing Patterson with a lot more of his money if someone gets

her senate seat.

[sohndrsmith]

6. duh - of course. Thanks. Typo. Doesn't change my perspective, though... n/t

[RB TexLa]

7. You were still correct, it was Kennedy/Bloomburg who got hung out by Patterson's office

leaking that she had withdrawn and even giving "reasons" why he would choose Coumo. Anonymously, of course. ;)

10. Why would Bloomberg care? He can't run a Kennedy.

[RB TexLa]

12. She's his candidate in this.

[liberalmuse]

4. I fucking hope not. Dude. Governor. Grow a SPINE!

They used to feel up the prospective Pope centuries ago to make sure "he" had balls. They need to do the same with all Dems, except feel for a SPINE before any are allowed to take office.

[RB TexLa]

11. Telling Caroline and Bloomburg that she is out if there isn't more help and if they don't believe it

to watch the nypost.com? That's a spine.

Sent her scrambling to the fastest news outlet she could.

8. Get a grip...

There's NO bidding war.:eyes:

[RB TexLa]

9. LOL

I think the governor does want to get re-elected. Bloomburg is in a better position to help with that but he's going to make sure he gets all the help from him he can.
