If his poll numbers "stay in the tank," New York Gov. David Paterson (D) will "reassess" in early 2010 his decision to run for election, the New York Daily News reports.
Paterson still insists he's running next year but "with one major caveat."
Said one source: "He's in it, he's planning to put the team together, but he's said if his numbers don't improve by the beginning of the year, he would have to reassess his campaign."
