Cuomo would have steamrolled to victory. I think he would have picked up Indiana among other states.

As late as 2004, I think Cuomo probably would have won easily.

But Welfare Reform would of happened regardless if Cuomo did it or Clinton did it, impeachment wouldn't have happened.

Was Cuomo really very big on welfare "reform"? The only people at the time who were really clamoring for punitive welfare "reform" were the right-wing media and their followers.

If he were to get reelected he would have had to sign some type of reform, that put time limits on recepients.

He wouldn't have had to sign it. Presidents do have veto power.

I would have vetoed it instantly, even back then.

NAFTA was unpopular. If he vetoed NAFTA, it would have helped him.

I'm looking at the '92 results, and I didn't realize until now just how close Wyoming was. I seriously think Cuomo would have won Wyoming, Kansas, and (the big one) Texas - plus the other close states.

I think Cuomo would have stalled the urban/rural split just on the basis of his policies.
