To bolster Democratic prospects, President Obama has tried to elbow New York’s governor, David A. Paterson, out of next year’s race, and has thrown his weight behind New Jersey’s governor, Jon S. Corzine, in next month’s election.
Then there is the mayoral race in New York City.
Here, the president has all but ignored the Democrat running on a message of change and embraced the incumbent running on the Republican ballot on Nov. 3.
Confused?
So is William C. Thompson Jr., the Democratic nominee for mayor this fall.

Obama’s stayin’ out of the NYC mayoral race. Smart move. He can’t necessarily endorse Bloomberg and no one in their right mind should endorse Thompson… That post ain’t gonna have a lot of horses hitched to it.
