New York is still in waiting game-mode: Governor Paterson, on WFAN's "Boomer and Carton Show," said that he was thinking about announcing a Senate pick this weekend, "but I just kind of decided I didn't want to trample on Senator Clinton's ability to come back and say farewell to her constituents nor ... the inauguration." Politico's Ben Smith feels Paterson is hinting that he may choose someone a little more unexpected, since he said, "There are some great candidates who have distinguished themselves but aren't so well known." Paterson also added, "My job is not to pick the person who is popular today. It's the person who is going to be popular in 2010, when they run for re-election." Wait, Paterson can see into the future?
