"                      <p class=\"imgtitle\">Cuomo</p>           ALBANY, N.Y. (Legal Newsline) - New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is not showing away any intention to take over future Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's Senate seat.<br /><br />Clinton was appointed to the post by President-elect Barack Obama, who defeated her in the Democratic primary. She is currently serving her second term as a U.S. Senator, having been re-elected in 2006 to a six-year term.<br /><br />Gov. David Paterson has the task of appointing a replacement. Paterson is, himself, a replacement, having taken the position when former Gov. Eliot Spitzer, Cuomo's predecessor as attorney general, resigned amid a scandal involving a prostitution ring.<br /><br />\"It is entirely up to him,\" Cuomo said Thursday, <a href=\"http://www.newsday.com/news/local/politics/ny-stcuom1212,0,5032610.story\" class=\"copy\">according to Newsday.</a> \"I have a job. I have my hands full doing it.\"<br /><br />The report said Cuomo would not deny that he would turn the seat down if offered to him.<br /><br />\"It's a little presumptuous to say, 'I'm not interested,'\" he said.<br /><br />Cuomo recently celebrated his 51st birthday and previously served as the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President Bill Clinton from 1997-2001.<br /><br />He is the son of former New York governor Mario Cuomo and ran unsuccessfully for governor in 2002.<br /><br /><em>From Legal Newsline: Reach John O'Brien by e-mail at john@legalnewsline.com.</em><br /><br />"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
