From The Hill:
President Barack Obama’s recent meddling in the New York governor’s race is setting off another round of will-he-or-won’t-he when it comes to the president’s endorsement habits.
Empire State Gov. David Paterson (D) stepped on to the national stage Sunday morning on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” where David Gregory tried to press Paterson on exactly what was contained in the message from the Obama administration, which reportedly urged him not to run.
“I’m blind, but I’m not oblivious,” Paterson said. “I realize that there are people who don’t want me to run. I’ve never gotten an explicit indication authorized from the White House that I shouldn’t run.”
