New York Governor- 2014- Astornio vs Cuomo

[NHLiberal]

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.

Really what they should have done was cross-endorse him (They can do that in New York) ... which would eliminate him for contention for future office as a Democrat (because today's politics are that partisan).

As much as I hate Cuomo and would love to see him out of contention for future office, I don't really think Republicans basically saying "yeah this guy isn't too bad and it's not like we have a great candidate to put up so we're gonna support Cuomo" would hurt his chances in a Democratic primary. Vice versa of course would be a huge problem.

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
