New York Governor David Patterson helps third parties. A Rasmussen Reports polls shows that if Democratic Governor David Patterson can beat New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary third parties will likely be a big beneficiary.

In polls for the 2010 Governor’s Office with Paterson as the Democrat “other” gets 10 to 13 percent, if Cuomo is only the ballot “other” only gets between 2 and 6 percent.

New York third party criticized in editorial…

New York third party criticized in editorial from the New York Daily News. The Daily News editorial is calling on Governor Patterson to veto the Green Jobs/Green New York Act, “which sets up a $112 million program to lend money to New Yorkers to weatherize homes.”

The Daily News looks at the bill as a more of a hand-out to the Working Family Party and the party’s close friends.

The editorial reads, “There are many such programs already… the law would blow a whopping $52 million of the money on a bureaucracy to manage the program, paying community groups and labor unions to round up customers… No one know (who) will be the beneficiaries… the Working Families Party drafted the bill.”
