Breaking: David Paterson Will Not Run For NY Governor; Manhattan Madam Will
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, February 26, 2010, 5:42 AM
Today we witnessed a strange blurring between the world’s oldest profession and the second oldest profession…
Embattled Democratic Governor David Paterson of New York will not seek election. The big spending democrat lost support of his party and his constituents months ago.
The AP reported:
The New York governor is facing mounting calls to drop out of the race in the midst of controversy.
Democratic officials in Washington were informed of Paterson’s plans early Friday. These officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because Paterson had not publicly disclosed his plans.
Hat Tip Ed
UPDATE: Businesswoman Kristin Davis, “The Manhattan Madam,” announced that she will run for New York governor today.
From her email announcement:
Kristin Davis, known as the Manhattan Madam who supplied call girls for Eliot Spitzer when he was Attorney General and Governor, will announce her candidacy for Governor of New York State as an Independent Candidate at 11am on March 1, 2010 at the historic Roosevelt Hotel located at 45 East 45th Street at Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10017- 2nd floor, Sutton Suite.
At least she has a business background. That will be important since the state is bankrupt.
More… Militant Conservative adds this:
Too much rich material here.
How does she “stump for votes”?
Prostitute turned politician? how do we tell the difference?
Second oldest profession with a striking resemblence to the first. LOL tooo rich.
She can earn my vote though. LOL

good
Neoavatara commented:
Ironcially, if Republicans had ousted a blind African American, you could just hear the chants of racism.
Unfortunately, Patterson would have been easy to beat. Now, Lazio will have a tough time with Cuomo.
Gini commented:
Excellent! Now perhaps he and his buddy Rangel will face charges.
DINORight commented:
Obama “asked” him to not run again. Seems that Obama finally got what he wanted. The Chicago Way.
Valerie commented:
So, is she running as a Democrat, or as a Republican?
TaSS commented:
I actually didn’t mind Patterson. He had a hard job and made some difficult decisions.
Unfortunate for him, the democrats knew he couldn’t win re-election and went after him with guns blazing to force him out.
Cuomo will be a diaster for NY.
Kitty commented:
Maybe it was Krisin Davis’ diabolical plan all along ;~)
…
TaSS commented:
Lazio doesn’t have a chance.
Doesn’t NY have any heavy-weight republicans for the governor and the upcoming senate race?
Can we borrow some from another state, please?
Opus #6 commented:
She looks like she has the best face and body money can buy…
olm commented:
I’d vote for her in a heartbeat. Based on the leaders we currently have running around we may as well have someone that would be interesting to watch.
did I say that? commented:
Unlike the other politicians at least she admits she’s a whore.
MrBlonde commented:
That’s a man, baby, ya!!
As for Paterson, good riddance to another looter.
wanumba commented:
Well, she’s doing HER part to keep sleezoids like Mr. Eliot from contemplating a new run. She probably is keeping quite a few OTHER politicians from filling out the filing papers, too.
While she’s running interference, how about the GOP running a real candidate who is competent and self-governed (self-controlled)?
Patman77 commented:
You gotta wonder how many Obama undercover trashcan forgers were behind this.
My other theory is how much pressure has Obama put on this lady to go public.
After all, Chicago is closer to Washington than the transparency is.
daryl commented:
Don’t you know that Acorn is salivating over giving her an endorsement and full support in her run for the office?
Dave commented:
Kristin Davis for Governor? At least she’s upfront with the idea of screwing her constituents – and also seems to be very familiar with the concept of using a hotel as a place as a place of business – in this case to announce her candidacy – perhaps she had enough “frequent flier” points racked up that they “comp’ed” her the ballroom -

greenfairie commented:
Davis might actually do a better job.
“As a madam, I understand what it will take to attract business to New York and keep jobs here. I also know how to balance a budget.
And if the state legislature gives me a hard time working for you, well, I’ve got the goods on them.”
Dave commented:
Has any reporter asked Davis just what kind of “jobs” she is talking about??
Mutnodjmet commented:
Given her experience in dealing with prostitutes, David is overly qualified to handle the NY Legislature.
I sense a “Tea Party” candidate is in the making.

Food for thought. She ran a successful “business.” All puns aside, would she be worse than what we have?
Valerie commented:
She is honest about what she is.
myna commented:
I bet madam pay her taxes on time more than those democrats politicians and appointees.
SDav commented:
Miss Louisiana Purchase Senator Mary Landrieu sold her vote.
Cargosquid commented:
Well, FINALLY! A politician that can do a fine and proper job of screwing the public!
DavidD commented:
That’s sad. I thought prostitution was illegal in New York. How could she possibly be considered a serious candidate with her background?
Militant Conservative commented:
DavidD,
Learned more usefull information from Prostitutes than I have from politicians. Cargosquid got it right.
Cargo, I be one of you, once upon a time. I remember “mumbles” in the P.I. Halls cough drops are an outstanding bedroom aid. LOL
I do not underestimate the abilities of others no matter what thier profession. Service industry knows what the public wants and sound business priciples.
Rosemary Woodhouse commented:
Obama’s “silly season” in action.
Rosemary Woodhouse commented:
Good one, didIsaythat!
jonyjoe101 commented:
When in doubt always vote for the pretty woman. One thing is that she won’t be any worst than what they have right now.
No one is mentioning the elephant in the room. Obama wanted Patterson to drop out of the race for governor. Patterson refuse to do what the “godfather” told him, look who has the last laugh now. No one goes against the “long legged macdaddy”.
Chicago politics trumps New York politics any day of the week. Its a law of physics.
TxTenther commented:
Nice
jim commented:
I think she’ll make the brest governor New York has ever had.
Militant Conservative commented:
do not judge a book by its cover. no matter how beautifull that cover is. probe her thoughts and ideas. I am open minded here, lets see what the lady has to offer for her qualifications. seriously, many have talked the talk but few can do the deed. a reformed alcholic can teach you alot. (beck) ahem who is laughing now…….
Rick commented:
She might just be the right candidate. She knows where all the skeletons are buried.
A_Nonny_Mouse commented:
Echoing jonyjoe101:
It had been nagging me for a while and now I’ve looked it up:
The Obama admin had asked Paterson back in Sept of ’09 NOT to run for governor. Paterson essentially told the admin “Tough titties, I’m running”. Now comes a revelation about some underling who did something shady and (apparently) was protected by a higher-up.
Gee, does this sound like Chicago hard-ball politics– again??? Think back to how Jack Ryan’s sealed divorce records were released, thus forcing him to drop out of the race, thus allowing The Won to advance another step up the political ladder.
I know history will record Obama as being the “first African-American President”; will they also refer to him as the first “openly sleazy” president as well?
