(NYDN) He's still gotta go, say critics. Gov. Paterson's rant that he's a victim of racist media trying to stop him from running did little Sunday to stifle demands that he step aside. At the same time, aides sought to move beyond the stunning remarks by turning their guns on a fellow Democrat who told a reporter that Paterson's blindness cripples him as a leader. Paterson's race remarks smack of "desperation" and are another reason he won't head the party's ticket next year, predicted a major labor official.
