New York's First African-American And Blind Governor


There is reason to believe that if Elliot Spitzer the present Governor of New York resigns due to the hooker scandal he is being implicated in that David Paterson will become only the third African-American governor since reconstruction.

Governor Spitzer was the victim of an F.B.I wiretap that recorded him making arrangements o hook up with a high-priced call girl at a Washington D.C. hotel last month.

The governor has apologized to his family and the public. The irony of this story is that he gained the spotlight by prosecuting at least two prostitution rings while heading up New York's Organized Crime Task Force.

If Mr. Spitzer steps down as is widely expected, David Paterson a Harlem Democrat who is blind would become Governor and finish out Mr. Spitzer term which would end on December. 31st, 2010.

We all have our demons to deal with.

One Love, One Nation, One World.
