I think it's more of a case of him trying to distract people from his glaring faults as a governor by taking a stand on a landmine issue like gay marriage. Based on his current behavior and performance so far it has nothing to do with nobility.
What are his glaring faults as governor?

Yes this was more of what I was getting at.

Well, based on his performance, I am guessing there is a greater chance for "nobility" as the asnwer than not.

The reason his approval rating is so low is that he has stepped on a lot of toes - the toes of people like the public employees unions, the health care lobby, and teachers unions in an effort to reform the budget.

I wonder if Strix's hostility is absed on Patterson simply being a Dem, or because Strix is a public employee? Hard to say, I guess.

But if Patterson is voted out, it will be for the reason that he was not willing to just go along with the sinking ship that is New York state public finances, and instead challenged the status quo and the entrenched special interests in the state.

Kind of funny to see Strix, the supposed hard core conservative, small government Republican champion the special interests and unions!

Many blind people wear sunglasses. I can see why Strix wouldn't trust them.

I think it's a good thing to have a politician frame it in those terms.  Whatever his motives, this is the right thing to do.  The only downside is that it encourages Martinus.

I am sure Marty just thinks that it is a shit plan exposing the basic homophobia in America because it doesn't go far enough, like subsidize dental inserts for more effective blowjobs or something.

Can't effectively glare.  Blind.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Paterson's motives are a bit suspect right now, since he's extremely unpopular in NY state.
Curiously enough, it's not that he's unpopular, he's just got terrible approval ratings.  Basically New Yorkers think he's a swell guy without a clue (which I think is the most insulting poll outcome for a politician).

Well, I imagine "annoying fuck who doesn't have a clue" could be slightly more insulting.

Nuh, in that case, you can console yourself that people don't approve of you because they have irrational dislike of you.  Getting fired by the people who truly like you is what really stings.
