Embattled Gov. Paterson has pulled the plug on his election bid, a source close to the governor said Friday.Pretty clear that Cuomo set up Patterson. In-fighting among the Politburo members is kinda fun to watch. One guy who is using his position of authority to get another guy for using his position of authority to get somebody...
Paterson will announce the decision later Friday.
Paterson has been under fire for having contacted a woman who accused one of his top aides of domestic violence.
The source said the governor has agreed not to seek election, but he will not resign - opting to serve out the remainder of his term.
The decision clears the way for Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, who is the favorite of many Democrats, to seek the nomination unimpeded.
Cuomo's office is investigating whether Paterson and the state police improperly contacted the woman, Sherr-una Booker, who made the allegations against his aide, David Johnson.
