On Web Site, Paterson Touts Accomplishments

October
30

Gov. David Paterson has added a  feature to his government Web site titled “Governor David A. Paterson: A Record Of Accomplishment.”

As he seeks to regain the public’s confidence in a bid to run for a full four-year term next year, the Web site lists a series of steps he has taken in his roughly 18 months in office.

And despite persistent talk that he may ultimately bow out of a run next year as he struggles with record-low poll numbers, Paterson again reiterated this morning that he’s running in 2010.

“Those articles are being planted,” Paterson said on John Gambling’s radio show. “People close to me are not talking to the media. People who say they are close to me who have other agendas are doing that.”

He added, “How many times do I have to say that I’m running?”

He was also asked about his sluggish fundraising, and again blamed it on the Senate coup in June, saying he had to cancel a number of events as he dealt with the turmoil in Albany.

His campaign Web site has several upcoming fundraisers listed.
