NY Gov. Paterson has mere $620G to battle $12 million-man Andrew Cuomo

From the "New York Daily News":http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2010/02/01/2010-02-01_runnin_on_empty_gov_has_mere_620g_to_battle_12mman_cuomo_in_primary.html: Gov. Paterson has a paltry $620,000 in available cash to spend on a primary - about 20 times less than his likely Democratic opponent, Attorney General Andrew Cuomo. An analysis of the $3 million in campaign cash Paterson has on hand reveals he has far less for a primary battle than originally thought. The $620,000 is not even enough to buy a week's worth of TV airtime in the state. Cuomo, by contrast, can use roughly $12million of the $16.1million he has on hand to battle for the party's ballot line. "A governor with $600,000 on hand less than a year before the general election is a dead duck," said Democratic political consultant Hank Sheinkopf.
