Cuomo’s plan to undercut the W.F.P.

Blake Zeff

Andrew Cuomo and his capable team will do all they can to dismiss Tuesday’s stunning Siena poll showing him increasingly vulnerable to a challenge from the left by the Working Families Party. But there’s no denying the threat such a challenge poses—to his margin of victory, and to his reputation in the national party.

The governor knows it, too, and has been aware of the looming problem for months, surreptitiously working behind the scenes in an all-out effort to avert the possibility of a challenge, or to limit the damage if it happens.

The governor knows he’s got two ways to mitigate this threat.

One is to get the party to forgo its challenge and give him its ballot line, as it did in 2010.
