1. Not sure if it's race, but he *has* received relentlessly bad media coverage.
So far I've not heard a persuasive argument from DEMs for ditching Paterson.

He's cut services. (They've *all* cut services.)

He was mean to Caroline Kennedy. ( Stop; yer killing me.)

Re . media overage:

>>>Even state Sen. Bill Perkins (D-Harlem), a black supporter of the governor, urged him to be more like Obama by staying "focused on the message.">>>>

Objective reportage does not generally include paragraphs that start with the word "Even". That's commentary, thinly ( and poorly) disguised as reportage.

80% or so seem to want him replaced as governor, if the surveys can be trusted. I suspect fewer than 20% of the 80% would be able to tell you *why*.
