Paterson to quit NY Governor's race as "Manhattan Madam" announces candidacy

2010-02-26

Jim Geraghty, "Campaign Spot" @ National Review

The New York Post reports that Governor David Paterson, Democrat of New York, will not seek reelection. He had been polling in the teens and the low 20s... in the Democratic primary.

UPDATE: A news release that arrives almost simultaneously:

KRISTIN DAVIS, MANHATTAN MADAM TO FORMALLY ANNOUNCE CANDIDACY FOR GOVERNOR AT A PRESS CONFERENCE

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...

Mere coincidence? Probably, but...

#3 Phew, for a second I thought is was this Kristin Davis. Anyway, I doubt a madame would charge as much as any politician to screw the taxpayer.

#2 I can see the TV ads now:

VOICEOVER: New York has a long history of electing governors who patronize call girls. Now, New York has a chance to elect a call girl as governor.

KRISTIN DAVIS: Let's cut out the middle-man and pass the savings on to the people of New York.

VOICEOVER: Kristin Davis for governor. On call for the people.

KRISTIN DAVIS: I'm Kristin Davis, the Manhattan Madam, and I approved this message.
