NY Gov. Patterson can't handle the pressure - Waaaaaaaaah

Poor Governor Patterson, will some please call the whaaaaaaaaaaambulance. Guess he's pissed because he pretty much doesn't have any choice but to name Caroline Kennedy to the post, that is if he wants to continue his career in politics anyways.

From the NYPOST
Gov. Paterson yesterday tamped down suggestions that Caroline Kennedy is at the top of the list to replace Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, asking, "How is she a front-runner?"

The comment came as Paterson was arriving back from a trip to Iraq to visit the troops with Reps. Anthony Weiner and Steve Israel at La Guardia Airport. The governor was hit with a crush of questions about the Camelot scion's push to replace Clinton, who will be nominated to become secretary of state.

He bristled when a reporter described Kennedy -who has never been elected to office and whose qualifications have been criticized - as the "front-runner." "How is she a front-runner?" the Democratic governor, who has sole power to choose Clinton's successor,
interrupted tartly.

The remark came as some Paterson advisers have questioned the rollout of Kennedy's candidacy over the past week, even as Mayor Bloomberg - who several sources say is boosting her behind the scenes - publicly urged the governor to speed up his selection process. Read the rest here
