Politico previews Clinton vs. Cuomo 2016

[Averroës Nix]

I'm in full agreement. (I also think that Cuomo's odds are heavily overrated, anyway, and that when he does run, he'll hold limited appeal to Democrats nationally.) I do wonder what kind of non-establishment challengers we'd see. Would the most significant among them be traditional liberals (I'm struggling to think of a realistic example), or would they be of a different flavor (e.g. Schweitzer)?

I wish that we had some evidence beyond the current tone of speculative coverage that speaks to Hillary's 2016 plans. It seems increasingly likely that the nomination is hers to take, and I can't imagine her passing on the opportunity.

Can any New Yorkers give us insight- I would think Cuomo would be most popular in NYC which would make this excellent for Hillary

Clinton is also popular here - especially upstate. I can't think of a single politician elected to statewide office in recent memory who is better liked in Upstate NY. If they'd polled the entire state, my guess is that the result would be closer to 70-20 in favor of Hillary.
