Paterson on the Possibility of a Primary

Andrew Cuomo, who is universally believed to be interested in running for governor, said yesterday at the state Democrats’ meeting

Andrew Cuomo, who is universally believed to be interested in running for governor, said yesterday at the state Democrats’ meeting in Rye, “The Democratic Party is essentially a party of primaries.”
At an event in Manhattan this morning, David Paterson was asked about Cuomo’s remarks, and said, “I wouldn’t say that I welcome a primary–it’s a lot of work.”
Paterson added, “But nor would I say that is anything necessarily right or wrong. All I would say is that I will be running for governor, and when you’ve made that decision then you have to assess that you’ve made that decision in the face of all possibilities.
