New York Governor David Paterson has not given up on gay marriage. In fact, he may call a special session later in the season to try it again...
“I am anticipating a special session and I am anticipating this is one of the issues that we will address,” Paterson told The Advocate Thursday night, shortly after leaving a meeting that included representatives from the Empire State Pride Agenda, the Human Rights Campaign, and Gill Action Fund. State senator Thomas Duane joined the discussion by phone.
A special session is almost a foregone conclusion at this point, according to people familiar with the situation in Albany. But assembly speaker Sheldon Silver said this week that he would like to pound out the details of a budget deal before agreeing to hold one. “They want to have a framework before we come back,” said Paterson. “But I do think because of the deficit we’re going to have to come back and hopefully we'll have an agreement.”
I have to give him credit, he's not a quitter. Maybe this time, progress can be made.

He is running behind in the polls and Giuliani is running for Governor. This is his attempt to put up a fight. He is not a nice guy at all. But yet again NY is full of corrupt politicians, on either side. And as smart as New Yorkers claim to be, they are letting them get away with their shit.
