I think everyone is missing something here.

Carlson said bluntly, "Hillary's running for president. They [the Clintons] wanted the black vote, and the Clintons just undermined [Cuomo].”

Yeah, I know it's easy to think that the Clintons were buying black votes for a future election, but it doesn't jive. Think about it; what percentage of the black vote would they have lost in a presidential election (even if you just look at NY) if they simply remain neutral? Maybe one-tenth of one percent. The lib blacks will vote her regardless. But even one tenth of one percent would accept the fact that Hillary was staying neurtral bec of Cumo's having been on BJ's cabinet. Heck, staying neutral in a race that included one of her big political cronies was a DEFACTO endorsement of McCall. No, there's something else going on here. OH, I'm sure it has to do with her presidential ambitions, but there's a LOT more going on behind the scenes.

You're right, and impeccable reasoning...is Margaret up to something, or is this a case for "duh" after the fact for listening to a single word she says?!

'Course I'm glad she said it, anyway, but her "Clinton/Cuomo theory" doesn't hold water...have you any highly speculative theory of your own on what is going on in N.Y.? (I'd love to know, and won't hold you to it or place any bets, LOL!)
