Spitzer's Mate David Paterson Is Mystery Man (quote on how Patterson was picked:)

Leecia Eve, a Buffalo-born lawyer and former counsel to Senator Hillary Clinton, was running for Lieutenant Governor with the blessing of Basil Paterson and the junior Mr. Paterson's wife, Michelle. Ms. Eve's supporters thought they had Mr. Paterson's support, and the Harlem leadership was furious when he decided to come in on his own.

The decision was not, of course, Mr. Paterson's. It was Mr. Spitzer's. And that decision came after two months of semi-serious offers from the Attorney General, Mr. Paterson said. The two men had met on a television talk show in late 1995 or early 1996, said the Senator (whose memory for dates and figures is legendary), before Mr. Spitzer was elected State Attorney General. They debated the merits of the police use of high-school yearbook photographs.
