Cuomo has nothing to worry about. Astorino is simply not a good fit for NY state. He is socially conservative in a state where 3/4 of the voters are socially liberal.

Seriously?

Astorino has done pretty well in Westchester County where the demographics are probably more heavily weighted in the Democrats favor.

3/4 of the voters are being hammered by the highest taxes in the nation and have nothing to show for it. That's why anyone that can is voting with their feet and abandoning NY. Social issues are not relevant when you can't afford your mortgage.

Yes, and it was 2 - 1 Dem, and he won by 13%! He was called a long shot then, and behind in the polls.

I hear he was re-elected by a landslide, too.

Also, here’s an excerpt from the Wall Street Journal which should help Rob Astorino quite a bit:

“....So three cheers for GOP candidate for Governor Rob Astorino, who is promoting a tax reform to lift New York from the doldrums.

The executive for Westchester County, north of New York City, is calling for a simpler system that cuts..”
