A Prominent Republican is joining a prominent Democrat in predicting that Gov. Cuomo will become President Obama's running mate for vice president next year.
Former New York GOP boss William Powers, credited with playing a key role in electing Rudy Giuliani mayor and George Pataki governor, was effusive in his praise of Cuomo's successes in the just-ended legislative session, and in his prediction of the freshman governor's political future.
"Andrew had a fabulous session. It was fabulous. A property-tax cap, ethics reform and, for Democrats, gay marriage," said Powers.

On the Texas board, the rumor is Romney/Perry. You want that duo? I think not. Oh, and here’s an invitation to read through the Texas posts and see what Texans think of our RINO Governor Goodhair.
But Biden fixed the economy, right? Right?
What progressives are doing is writing their own bible by using the law. No one is forced to read a Bible but they are forcing every one to accept their bible by making it law.
Biden as SoS??
That’ll cement us as the greatest country ever.
commie corruption...

“Who is going to tell Bitme?”
If no one tells him...he will never know, he’ll just keep on being good ole Joe.
Obama needs a running mate who will boost his chances of re-election; I suspect that the majority of Democrats do not want to be tied to a sinking ship. Obama’s chances of being re-elected are low.
This will be interesting to watch - who will be stupid enough, or ambitious enough, to ignore what is so obvious to most observers.
There will be an estimated one-tenth of one percent of the population that will be a same sex couple. Making same sex marriage law is an attack on traditional morals. Progressives will continue to fight against our moral traditions until people realize what is happening and they put a stop to it.
hey, this frees Biden up to run against Obama in the primary!
Obama: “Nobody messes with Joe”.
Soon we’re gonna find out the shelf-life of that one.
Poor Joe wasn’t “gay” enough?
I gotta say, my feeling about this is exactly the same as my feeling about Chris Christie running for the pubbies.
LEAVE GOV. CUOMO ALONE - NY NEEDS HIM MORE THAN AMERICA DOES.
Obviously I don’t support the gay marriage thing, but I think Andrew Cuomo did a good job in bringing some semblance, at least, of fiscal sanity to NY.
That whole state legislature is basically a snake pit, and he got them to do what he wanted on some important issues, and he did not raise taxes.
When he ran for office if you saw his TV ads he basically sounded like a Tea Partier. He is at least trying to help NY not collapse financially.
As the other poster said, if Cuomo is smart (and there is no reason to think he isn’t) he’ll say, not just No, but Hell No.
Because Obama ain’t gonna be the NEXT president of the United States and any dem with ambition would be wise to either run against him or run away.
Wow, I think Barry is really worried about losing NY...must have some internals that NY jews have wised up and don’t trust him anymore.
No OPRAH???? (blink, blink)
Look at his accomplishment and then Palin’s; why is it OK for him but not her?
Media bias....
Mario Cuomo Patched Things Up With Ed Koch For Andrew
The NY Times has a long feature on the relationship between former NY governor Mario Cuomo and presumptive 2010 gubernatorial candidate Andrew Cuomo that includes quotes like "He’s thick skulled; he won’t listen to me. Tell him what to do" (supposedly what Mario told a consultant about Andrew) and "There was this sense of rivalry — Andrew seemed to feel that his dad talked a good game but that he, Andrew, got things done" (someone who worked under Andrew Cuomo at HUD). But what's interesting is how the 1977 mayoral campaign comes into play.
Back in 1977, Mario Cuomo was battling Ed Koch for the NYC mayorship, and there were nasty campaign posters saying "Vote For Cuomo, Not The Homo." When Andrew Cuomo was running for attorney general in 2006 (after his failed 2002 gubernatorial run and divorce from Kerry Kennedy), the NY Times reports, "Mario approached George Arzt, a former press secretary to Mr. Koch, at the Regency Hotel in New York and told him, “‘I’d like to patch things up with Ed,’ ” Mr. Arzt recalled. “I asked him what he had in mind. And he said, ‘Could Ed endorse Andrew?’" Which Koch did do.
Koch, for his part, told Esquire, "The signs said, VOTE FOR CUOMO, NOT THE HOMO. Andrew says he didn't do it, and I believe him. Mario says he thinks he now knows who did it. I was very angry at the time. Primary races always end in anger. They're different than the general election: They're like a civil war — it's brother against brother. But I've forgiven them. I'm eighty-five now, and grudges take your energy away. I've forgiven them all."
Legalize Gay Marriage - Vote Homo Not Cuomo <<--- UTube Ad
The already circus-like race for New York governor just went from one ring to three.
Independent Kristin Davis, the former New York madam, is now calling out Democrat Andrew Cuomo for not taking a stronger stance for gay rights.
“It’s outrageous that New York has not legalized same-sex marriage,” Davis says in a new ad. “Andrew Cuomo says he supports it, but when the marriage equality bill was before the Senate, he was asked to call three undecided Democratic senators and declined. A vote for me sends a strong message to Cuomo: we demand gay marriage now.”
She ends the ad with a catchy phrase: “Vote homo, not Cuomo”:
According to CBS News, the line is a play off a campaign slogan used by some supporters of Andrew’s father Mario in the 1977 New York mayoral election against Ed Koch: “Vote for Cuomo, not the homo.” The reference was meant to advance rumors about Koch’s sexuality.
.
His father was a pompous idiot and so is he.
Hussein must really be worried about getting New York’s electoral votes.
The writer of the article hopes to be Cuomo’s body man in
D.C.!
