As you all probably know, when Hillary Clinton took the Secretary of State job, her Senate seat was vacated. That lead to an ugly process whereby several potential candidates made it known that they would like to be appointed to fill her vacancy, including New York Attorney general Anrew Cuomo and Caroline Kennedy. In a truly unnecessary political scuffle, Governor David Paterson gave signals that he would support Kennedy’s appointment and then appeared to publicly “diss” her by allowing (or encouraging) his staff to make unnecessary comments about Ms. Kennedy. Paterson eventually appointed Kirstin Gillibrand after Kennedy abruptly withdrew herself from consideration. The appointment ... Read Full Story

The borough of Kings is widely viewed as competing for - and perhaps already surpassing - Harlem as the seat of black political power in the city. Paterson is inexorably connected to Harlem, while Brooklyn is also is home...
