Paterson Drops Out of Election Race But Vows to Serve Out His Term
Gov. David A. Paterson announced on Friday afternoon that he
was suspending his election campaign and would not run for a

Mr. Paterson, his administration caught up in a whirlwind of
allegations about its intervention in a domestic violence
episode involving a top aide, ended his campaign less than a
