Last GOP governor was George Pataki who left in 2007 and it has been Democrat winning with relatively large margins (55%-close to 70% of the vote).

Do you think there will be another Republican governor in New York? Can it be done?

Again, if "ever" is involved (assuming we keep the same two parties we've had since the 1850s), the answer is clearly yes.

If a Republican governor can win over 70% in MA, as William Weld did in 1994, the NY can have a GOP governor in the foreseeable future.

Yes, but likely not in 2018. Sometime in the 2020s it could very well happen with a Charlie Baker/Larry Hogan/John Kasich type of GOPer.

Yes. Rob Astorino, Carl Paladino, Craig Caruana, or Marcus Molinaro. Chris Collins could win statewide as well.

Craig Caruana would be good. He's a rising star. He should probably run for NYC mayor in 2017 or 2021 before going statewide in the 2020s.

Well, 40% in race for city council seat is not enough to win a mayorality or governorship. IMHO - only Bloomberg-type person (with very big money and strongly socially liberal) would have any chances. But i don't see scond Bloomberg in Republican party now..

I think he could beat Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley for good this time in 2017...she's tainted with the homeless shelter issue in that part of the city and state. It already defeated Assemblywoman Margaret Markey.

Hanna or Gibson could make it competitive, and if the Democrat primary field is literally only De Blasio and Cuomo and it gets really really ugly really quickly.

Hanna could run as late as 2026, when he will be 75*. He could beat Teachout, or potentially De Blasio.


*(For reference, the same age Sanders turned this year and the same age Biden will turn in 2017. Elizabeth Warren will turn 75 in 2024.)

Rep. RIchard Hannah just retired from the House. He's probably the most liberal NY Republican. He could probably win NY

If he will be able to win primary. You must be rather liberal Republican to have chances in general election, but rather conservative one to win primary. Hanna, for example, was routinely attacked from the right as a congressman in primary.

Rob Astorino, Carl Paladino, Ron Castorina, Assemblyman (R-Staten Island), John Quaglione (R-Bay Ridge), Chris Gibson, Craig Caruana, etc. could be a potential governor in the future.

     At some point, sure. It helps that Governorships tend to be less partisan than federal offices, so you can have some unorthodox outcomes. Vermont just elected a Republican Governor, but they aren't going to send one to the Senate anytime soon.

Yeah, I'm sure Paladino's overt racism that was so bad even Trump had to issue a statement condemning him has made him a prime choice for statewide elections in New York...

Anyway, someday, surely. Probably not in the next 20 years or so, but you never know.
