Added 'T' Amounts to DNC Snub for Paterson

Governor Paterson is new to the national stage, and it appears some Democratic officials have yet to learn how to spell his name. Mr. Paterson, who has now been on the job for five months, will address the party's national convention this afternoon, shortly before 6 p.m. Eastern.
But in the Democratic National Convention Committee's official list of speakers, he is listed as David "Patterson." The error is a common mistake made on countless press releases sent to reporters by various lawmakers and advocacy groups over the months since Eliot Spitzer's sexual transgressions vaulted the former state senator to the governor's mansion. But national Democratic officials should presumably know better, since they made the same mistake on an official list of delegates in March.
