Former Gov. David Patterson (D-NY) is the epitome of an “accidental governor”. He was Minority Leader in the NY State Senate in 2006 when he signed on to run for LG under Eliot Spitzer. He became Governor when Spitzer resigned amid his prostitution scandal. Patterson didn’t run for his own term.

He also had his own share of scandals. Not sure why so many of New York’s governors have been weird horndogs. abc30.com/archive/6027...

Because the NY Democratic Party is largely just a corrupt, mobbed up party of failsons.

Patterson had Sid Rosenberg standing next to him at his press conference. I guess Anthony Cuma was busy.
