Hillary Clinton's Senate Seat

Brian Higgins (NY-27) is on the short list.

Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown, apparently, is not.

In an interview with the Buffalo News, Governor Paterson sort of told all the Caroline Kennedy backers to STFU and let him make his own damn mind up, thanksomuch.

    “Brian Higgins (NY-27) is on the short list.”

    That’s not nice. I don’t think he’s that short anyway.

    I would be pleasantly surprised if Higgins got the nod. On the other hand, it costs Paterson 42 cents to send him a questionaire, in the hope that it will mollify us rubes while he goes about selecting Jerry Nadler or Carolyn Maloney.

    Paterson may very well choose someone he views as a strong potential threat when he runs for governor in 2010(not Caroline).
