As the holidays arrive, our thoughts on The Ticket turn to not
working so much for a few days. So we are re-publishing some of our
favorite or most-read items from 2009. This one originally appeared
on Sept. 23.
Embattled New York Gov. David Paterson has a wife named Michelle too, and she came out swinging today at the Obama White House.
Paterson became governor after Eliot Spitzer resigned amid a prostitution scandal. With his poll numbers down and still-popular former New York Mayor Rudy Guiliani
lurking in the wings to challenge Paterson, the White House sent word
to Albany that perhaps Paterson could fall on his sword for the party
and just forget to file his re-election papers.
