Cuomo Dipping Toe In '16 Water With Star-Studded Hurricane Sandy PSA?
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 11/28/2012 5:41:06 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Throughout his tenure as Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo has chosen to maintain a suprisingly low profile. Think quick: how much footage have you seen of him in the Hurricane Sandy aftermath compared to his cross-George Washington Bridge buddy, Chris Christie?

But has Cuomo finally decided the time has come to make himself more visible? A PSA for Hurricane Relief, aired on Morning Joe today, featured a star-studded cast of Al Pacino, Robert DeNiro, Whoopi Goldberg, Edie Falco, Michael J. Fox and Julianna Margulies and Nathan Lane. One panel, devoid of reference to the relief organization, starkly read "Join Governor Cuomo and New York." View the video here.

Andrew Cuomo just being altruistic, or star-studded toe in 2016 water? Ping to Today show list.

Cuomo is the likely front runner...he has the same unfulfilled Daddy issues that Romney and the Bush sons have, which seem to drive these people to run. The Dems have a pretty light bench in the traditional path to the White House...few governors to choose from. Maybe one of the Virginia Senators/former governors.

If not Cuomo, they will dip their toe back in the same waters and pick a minority...either woman, black or hispanic. They could fast track Cory Booker, go with the LA Mayor, the freaky Castro dude from San Antonio, or Hillary. Whoever they plug in will get the same adoration and protection of the media.

Of course, it would only be logical to follow up a Hussein presidency with a Castro presidency, since that is the path the Democrats are taking us.

If Hillary is in, the best Cuomo will see is VP.

So much for my breakfast. No question as to which subject in the photo is more sickening. With the names listed, cuomo should be automatically disqualified but with today’s pop culture being the main decision maker is there any doubt that “the situation” should be vp and snooki maybe minister of shopping? Man have we screwed this up? And I must apologize, for at least myself, as part of the baby boomer generation for being the main cause of the mess we’re in. And it isn’t a john kerry type apology kinda like “I’m sorry that you were not smart enough to know what I meant”. LOL!

Helping keep mankind warm for 65 years.
Spread the lead.

Mark Warner wouldn't stand a chance vs. Hillary in the democrat primary, but as one of the Sainted Ones, he'll be the senator here in Virginia as long as he wants it. For some reason, his name is spoken in reverent tones here.

America has to survive the next 4 years under an already failed President before we worry about 2016!

I doubt if he’ll run. Obama will likely face only token opposition when he runs for re-election in 2016.

I hope he does—and takes out Hillary in the primaries. A New York liberal with a New York City accent would be perfect.

Will see if Soros lets Cuomo pretend to run for office. If Soros and the other puppet masters decree it, Dear Leader will continue in office in 2016. Don’t forget that, in addition to being the second coming of Christ, Obamugabe is the second coming of FDR.

BTW, I did not go to the link, so I don’t know the answer to this question. Are the many celebrities mentioned here pledging huge sums of their own money for relief in NY, or are they just seizing on another opportunity to shove their annoying faces in front of a camera?

Like the Blacks, Spainish and sluts that make up the Democratic party will ever let another White male rule over them. Yeah, you go Cuomo.

To be fair, Cuomo has not been as hideous as I thought he would be- he has actually taken steps to control the spending and stood up to unions (not a lot, just more than I expected)

I could ALMOST see him as a Bill Clinton democrap (who let the GOP balance the budget for him so he could take credit)

Not that I would vote for him....

American Idol America - elect the politician that is most closely loved by the celebutards - e.g. President Kardashian.

It’ll be either Cuomo or O’Malley (current Rat governor of Maryland). Biden will try but go down in flames early.

I agree. If Hillary runs, it probably will be ‘her turn’, and will also be tough to beat unless there is a serious change in the political environment. Unfortunately,if I read this election right, it is going to be hard to ever win if the other side can ally the single women and various minority interests...with Hillary, she’ll also keep those potential Reagan Democrat types in the rust belt on the Democrat reservation.

All that, plus the country`s vast majority thinks she`s simply awesome. Repubs won`t win the White House anyway, but if Hillary runs, she`ll win in a blowout.

It`s just a different country these days. Dominant government is what people want now. I guess it somehow gives them a feeling of security.
