I’m glad you’re keeping my statement about his becoming president “safe & sound” somehwere — with so much going on lately I might be watching his White House swearing-in ceremony on TV and forget I ever said that!
Maybe he’ll be a vice president running mate this year…?

I also wondered about the seeing eye dog and since learned that he has “people” to guide him as needed. I am keeping the blog that states- “he will be president” – let’s see what happens in New York!

Thanks so much for your comments — sometimes I think I’m going overboard with this guy, but your comments help me realize I’m not alone! It is sooooo refreshing to have a person in office who, well, who just is who he is!
In answer to the question about the Seeing Eye dog: no David Paterson doesn’t use a dog to help him get around. For some reason he has chosen not to use a cane, either. I guess that 10% of vision he has really helps him? I think sound must help himm navigate hallways and rooms, too.

My dear son, Sminthetto, wants to know: “Does Governor Paterson have a Seeing Eye dog?”

Yes, I watched it live and totally agree with you. A great speech given by a wonderful man.
