Governor Cuomo one of the MOST popular governors in the country 71% favorable rating

[bigdarryl]

I would like to see him run in 2016 after Obama does his 8 years http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/07/new-york-i-love-you-cuomo-continues-to-roll.php

1. Yeah, thats what we need..

another entrenched metropolitan professional politician..

[bigdarryl]

2. Well Mr. know it all who would you suggest run in 2016

[pipoman]

4. Are we really needing to determine that now?

How about someone who genuinely cares about labor and is willing to re-examine every trade agreement purchased by 3rd world governments from our entrenched politicians completely against the wishes of the vast majority of the populace for starters..

8. You would prefer a unfixed rural novice politician?

[pipoman]

12. Yep, sure would

3. I'm sorry to say that he is disappointing me terribly:

Setting a goal to reduce public pensions:

and lifting the state's ban on hydrofracking:

I'll just have to wait and see about Cuomo . . .

His father was the first Democratic nominee to lose a NY gubernatorial election in 24 years.

7. THANK YOU~ you saved me the effort of finding this and posting +1000

Please GOD not another neo-liberal PLEASE!

This country cannot afford any more

6. More popular with Republicans than Democrats

Anti-labor, pro-fracking, anti-taxes for rich people.

11. I am sorry, but you are mistaken. Governor Cuomo has higher favorability ratings from Democrats

than from Republicans:

10. I love what he did for gays in New York

really, I do, but I hope we can do better than him in 2016. His position on financial issues is not what I want.
