Cuomo's Goes For #2 In Upstate Play/Ploy
Mega-shock! New York goooobernatorial candidate Andrew Cuomo has picked a mayor of one of them there upstate cities as his running mate, in an appeal to the 8 million or so New York residents not residing in New York City, Westchester or Long Island. Running with Rochester's top cop turned mayor should go some way in keeping people from thinking of him as just a big-city, party machine-friendly, slick-haired, Clinton-loving, overly ethnic operator.
No Cuomo.
I thought we kind of liked Cuomo's kind of ethnic upstate? Maybe just in my old neck of the woods.
What are you, in ITHACA? Liberal hippie.
Buffalo's previous mayor (before the current black one) had a vowel at the end of his name, Choire! The dying rust belts loves it some white ethnics.
Former (?) mafia town Utica, where every city official is a Roman Catholic! We certainly don't like other kinds of ethnics, just his kind.
GO BILLS!
Rochester itself has a largish Italian-American population.
Pay attention, folks — he'll be running the state in oh, say, 22 months from now.
Exactly. My first thought upon hearing about his running mate was "Oh, this will be the guy who becomes our govenor when Cuomo resigns in shame."
At this point, we should only let people not from New York run for governor of New York, because otherwise we know how it's going to end up.
I was hoping he'd pick Eric Massa.
Major props for putting the Starship Troopers News Chroma Key.
