Oswego, NY – The political world in New York has been buzzing over the last several days about what may, or may not, happen to Gov. David Paterson. The rumors include a potentially damaging article about Paterson from the New York Times. Even though the Times hasn't yet published an article, or commented on the rumors, the rumors themselves have become the story.

WRVO's Jason Smith spoke with NPR's political editor Ken Rudin about the rumors.
