New York's Governor 1 Percent
Sandy Boyer
ANDREW CUOMO will be seeking reelection as governor of New York in November. But he's also hoping for a promotion--and a new mansion to live in where the walls are painted white.
Whether he stays another four years as governor of New York--a pretty sure bet at this point, given the failure of the Republican Party to find a candidate who can challenge him--or he heads south toward the White House in January 2017--still a long shot against a host of other hopefuls--Cuomo will remain what he's always been: a servant of the 1 Percent.
So are virtually all mainstream politicians, of course. But Cuomo has forged a unique political strategy that sets him apart.
He's out to divide the progressive coalition--pitting people who care primarily about "social" issues like same sex marriage and choice against those more concerned with "economic" issues like schools, taxes and workers' rights. It's a strategy he thinks will make him more electable by appealing to moderate Democrats and even liberal Republicans.
