The new Governor of New York?

He's a pledged superdelegate for Hillary. Obama tried to poach him. Didn't work though.

Really, I don't understand the double standards here. The superdelegates can vote for whomever they want.

He tried to poach Paterson.

Paterson was Lt. Governor and thus a superdelegate prior to his elevation. He committed to Hillary a long time ago.

Patterson was already a superdelegate before he became governor, he wasn't accorded superdelegate status because he's the governor of NY.
