Minutes after Gov. Eliot Spitzer resigned over his purported role in a pricey prostitution ring, Rockland County Executive C. Scott Vanderhoef, a Republican, issued the following statement:
“This is a very sad day, but it marks a new beginning for New York state,” he said. “The Spitzer tenure is now over, and the Paterson tenure now begins. We welcome David Paterson to his new position as the leader of the executive branch and we wish him well. I ask all county executives to join me in working in cooperation with the new governor toward a better New York state.”
Vanderhoef ran for lieutenant governor in 2006 on the GOP’s ticket.

I know why Vanderhoef is excited, he wants to run for Governor
He wont win. not many people will. This man Paterson was hidden from the people far too long. If he lives up to is already spotless reputation he will be one of our best governors yet and will roll through elections in 2010.
No one has a bad word to day about Paterson. His ideals and agendas are all known. I am not happy he was hidden from us. I am glad he has his chance now.
