You know what interests me about today's news? It's that should Eliot Spitzer resign, the next governor of New York would simultaneously be both the first African-American and first blind governor the state has had.
As of a few minutes ago, someone had already updated it to remove the word "Lieutenant" --- and someone else had reverted it, with the comment "undo -- leave this out until it happens".
That would be an interesting development. Word is that Mr. Paterson has already called around asking for support presumably for a transfer of executive power. Might even give the Obama campaign an indirect boost because of the African-American angle.
