Paterson to McCain: You Can't Have Cuomoby Russell Berman
What does Governor Paterson say about Senator McCain's desire to appoint New York's attorney general, Andrew Cuomo, as chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission? You can't have him. "McCain may want Andrew, but I can tell you Andrew wants Obama. And we in New York want Andrew right here and not in DC," Mr. Paterson said in a statement released this morning by the New York State Democratic Committee. The Republican presidential nominee, in an interview broadcast last night on "60 Minutes," cited Mr. Cuomo as his choice to replace Christopher Cox, whom he has said he would have fired as SEC chief in the midst of the current crisis in the financial markets. The office of Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat, last night put out a statement that made no mention of Mr. McCain's comments, instead focusing on his own investigation of short-selling. Of course, Mr. Paterson may think differently this time next year if Mr. Cuomo decided to challenge him in a race for governor in 2010.
