"Unless there is a significant new development in the next 24 hours, I don’t expect the state committee to endorse the governor," said the co-chairwoman, Karen Scharff, who as executive director of the liberal advocacy group Citizen Action of New York wields considerable influence in the party.

Apparently, Cuomo and WFP are now working on an endorsement deal:

Why is it so impossible to elect a Republican in NY under any circumstances now?  In 1994, Pataki really wasn't a top tier candidate.  He was a little known State Senator from Putnam County.  And he beat Mario Cuomo.

Why would they want to? Andrew Cuomo is governor.

Christie rejected Astorino's play for more money.

Because, like I said, with Democrats like Cuomo, who needs Republicans?

I somehow think it has more to do with the fact Christie realizes Astorino doesn't have a shot in hell.

Yes but you see...it's not the GOVERNOR'S race that's bringing Christie here

Obviously but it's still a blatant and laugh-worthy contradiction.

In other news, the NYT did a piece on Cuomo's corruption commission, which turned out (unsurprisingly) to be a fraud itself...

Actually given Cuomo's ethics issues, I wouldn't be surprised if Teachout won... The problem is she wouldn't beat Astorino in a General election.
