Paterson to Obama: I'll Campaign With You
David Paterson spoke with Barack Obama around 2 p.m., he told reporters in Midtown during the New York State Democratic Party’s meeting.
“He asked me how the first two and a half months were going," Paterson said. "And I told him it might have even been more difficult than your campaign.”
Paterson went on, “He did ask me to campaign with him, and I told him I would certainly find a way to campaign with him, but I am a little busy right now.”
In a scrum with reporters, Sheldon Silver, an Orthodox Jew, said he doesn’t have a problem with Obama’s foreign policy or position on Israel.
“I seem to be fine with everything he said so far,” Silver said.
Also at the party meeting was Tom Suozzi, who was one of the last people to leave, and Bill Perkins, who said his tiff with Yvette Clarke this afternoon was no big deal. One of Silver's primary opponents, Paul Newell, was also there. He's an Obama delegate so Silver can look forward to seeing him in Denver.
Painful last act for vanquished Clinton
Jun 7 07:26 AM US/Eastern
Hillary Clinton formally folds her historic quest to be America's first woman president Saturday, after a nominating campaign once seen as inevitable, crumbled under Barack Obama's onslaught.
Clinton's ordeal, in Washington's National Building Museum, will be closely watched for the tenor of her endorsement of the presumptive Democratic nominee, after her first post-primary effort last Tuesday struck some as ungracious.
The former first lady, 60, was once a prohibitive front-runner, leading national polls by huge margins last year, but her campaign was stunned by her loss in the leadoff Iowa caucuses on January 3.

ISRAEL LOBBY, PODHORETZ NEO-CONS AND LEIBERMAN NEO-LIBS HAVE STARTED OBAMA’S OBEDIENCE TRAINING
The desperate Podhoretz Neo-Cons, Leiberman Neo-Libs and Jewish Lobby have evidently started obedience training on Obama. An all consuming obsession with Israel's survival is the first step in his political enslavement for the next 4 years. The risk for Obama is that the Kennedy Democrats and Reagan Conservatives will lynch him; and the risk for the Judeofascists, being notorious haters of the Christian and Muslim cultures, is that Obama will lead a revolution against them.

well jeugenen, yours is certainly a fear based, divide and conquer post... do you work for the clinton campaign?
i am sure we will start to see 'wedge' based comments as hillary begins her run for 2012... oops, have to make sure that obama does not win in 2008. uh, i know, let's scare the hell out of the jews.
nice try.
Glad to see I'm not the only one to have peeped Mrs. C's hole-card. Marianne was astute in her post that Hillary could care less about the '08 election since she wasn't the chosen one. She's now focused on her run in 2012! Her only remaining interest in the '08 election is being the president of a pseudo-nation consisting of roughly 18 million pro-Hillary residents. She's managed to retain control of this voting bloc through the "suspension" of her campaign (opposed to conceding to Mr. Obama outright) and is holding the Democratic Convention hostage. It'll be interesting to see what she does with that voting bloc.
We can't be too mad at Hillary because she's playing the game of politics the way it's always been played by the boys. This is Civics-101 everybody and if we take nothing from this, it would behoove us to have learned that the race has never gone to the swift, it went to the shrewd!
