New York Governor David Paterson is just one of many African American New York politicians who've stuck loyally by their home state senator. But on a radio show yesterday, Paterson used the past tense to describe his support for Clinton, saying, "I thought she was the best candidate. And I also thought she had the best chance of winning.” Even harsher, he said, "We’re starting to see a little, you know, desperation on the part of a woman who I supported, and woman who I’ll support until whatever time she makes a different determination.”
Desperation? Ouch.
