Liberal Talking Heads Declare War On Governor Cuomo "DONT YOU DARE TRY AND RUN AS A PROGRESSIVE"

[outsideworld]

Please read the article in its entirety

Cuomo doesn’t hide his conservative tendencies — they’re part of his sales pitch, especially upstate and outside New York City — but he’s in an enviable position of being able to run and govern as a conservative while retaining a progressive reputation, because he’s, you know, a Cuomo and a big-city blue state liberal governor who got gay marriage passed. His response to Sandy has raised his national profile even more, and barring the sort of disastrous scandals that have sunk the last couple of New York governors, he’ll keep being mentioned whenever people bring up 2016 candidates until the day he announces his intentions. But Democrats ought to know what sort of Democrat he is. If Cuomo allows Republicans to subvert the will of the voters of New York, so that he has an easier time cutting taxes and rolling back regulations, he shouldn’t be allowed to sell himself to future primary voters as a progressive.

1. No Cuomo,

He's another center right corporate hack, not what we need in this country.

2. Realism

But he is someone who can win an election. That's a very importent factor. President Obama proved two times perfectly that you can win with big margins when you have a centrist policy. McGovern and Mondale were much more on the left and look at their results. Hillary(If she wants to run) or Cuomo are the easier way to win the White House and i don't want to see a Republican in the Oval Office in this decade. Hopefully not even in the next decade.

3. President Obama is great,

but we can do better. And I'm not sure that Andrew Cuomo is better.
