Astorino didn’t get a fraction of the help and support he needed, and we saw that for most of the past year. Cuomo, as one of the potential 2016 Presidential candidates, should’ve been heavily targeted for defeat (or at least held to winning by a brutal, narrow and demoralizing margin).
I would absolutely accuse Crispy Crème of wanting Cuomo to win. An Astorino victory would’ve sucked the air out of his sails, leaving him as the “big state” Governor and rock star there and Christie as second banana. He similarly did nothing to help the GOP with the Senate races (both the special and the general won by his leftist Dem buddy, Cory Booker).
Right, and we should never forget how Christie helped a LIBERAL gubernatorial Republican, who voted for Obama, but not Astorino, a CONSERVATIVE gubernatorial candidate.
btw, I heard Astorino on political analyst Fred Dicker’s radio show, and he also felt more gun owners should have voted, but was appreciative about the grass roots gun owners who helped him so enthusiastically.
I sure wish each and every gun owner would vote more.
