ALBANY---Governor David Paterson has met privately with key democratic leaders about his reelection plans.
     This comes after weeks of buzz about a New York Times article that would reveal a bombshell scandal about the Governor. Paterson campaign spokesman Richard Fife says the weekend calls had nothing to do with these accusations, but were "routine reelection campaign calls"
      A democrat close to the situation, though, says the meetings included discussions about whether Paterson would resign or announce he will not run.
