From the NY Times:In unusually revealing remarks, Gov. David A. Paterson said on Wednesday that he never envisioned himself becoming governor and that he is trying to do the best with the situation he has found himself in.
Speaking at a luncheon organized by The Associated Press, Mr. Paterson said that when he ran for lieutenant governor in 2006 on a ticket with Eliot Spitzer, he had hoped that then-Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton would later become president and Mr. Spitzer would appoint him to her seat.
“I did not sign up for this,” Mr. Paterson said. “I wanted to be lieutenant governor. I had this grand plan that Hillary Clinton was going to become president. Maybe the governor would appoint me to the Senate.”
Things obviously did not work out that way.

In 2 words, "BABBLING BLINDMAN"!
So happy the Governor finally shaved. He looked like a homeless person.
Well - someone shaved him!
Yeah, he had it all figured out. Step 1, Step 2, Step 3, and -- voila! -- he's the junior senator of the Great State of New York. So that hare-brained scenario certainly blew up in his face, didn't it? Well, that's not fair! He did not sign up for that. What, I wonder, is Plan B? Stay tuned, folks. Way to kill one's political career in five easy steps.
Yeah, completely out of his element; which is all the more surprising that he would insist he's going to run next year. Step down and go do something else Dave.
