NY Governor Paterson: I am Running for Governor Next Year

New York Governor David Paterson said Sunday that he would seek election in 2010 despite alleged pressure to drop his bid from President Obama and others alarmed by his dismal poll numbers.

“I have said time and time again that I am running for governor next year,” Paterson said at a parade in Harlem. “My plans have not changed.” Paterson was responding to reports of Obama’s request that he not pursue the Executive Mansion, allegedly communicated by Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-Queens) on Friday. When asked about their talk, Paterson said, “I am not going to discuss confidential conversations.”
