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.
