He never should have entered the race. He screwed the Dem Party and I hope they remember it. I hope he moves to Seattle and takes Hillary and Schumer with him.

[noexcuses]

Please don't say that - we have enough problems here with Maria and Patty.

[APBaer]

Cuomo doesn't have anything to give.
McCall should just tell him to pull out or run, no conditions.

It's very refreshing to see Lil' Cuomo desperately flailing about, trying to salvage some semblance of a political future.

But we're not done with this corrupt-to-the-bone bastard yet, unfortunately. (Bill Clinton lost a state election or two before the Democratic Party inflicted him upon our nation.)

And Andy won't ever let them forget the $59 billion dollars he stole out of the HUD program to line the pockets of two-bit Democratic hustlers and hoods from coast-to-coast.

This "gracious loser" pose is just step one on his, and the media's, campaign to resuscitate him.

He'll be back.

[alisasny]

So little andy would rather be a coward and drop out before the primary than lose. Why am I not surprised...: )))

Glad his little sleepover at the homeless shelter backfired and that his criticism of Pataki did him in.

Reminds me of Papa Mario telling us that we were all doomed if he was not elected gov over Pataki.

Absolutely.

[aShepard]

Comm'on Cuomo. Stand up and take it like a man, you wussy, wimpy has-been. You're a loser, the public knows it, and now you do to.

McCall should hire him, and fire him on his first day in office, if he makes it by Pataki.

[hellinahandcart]

I still can't believe Andy was stupid enough to run on his record. :D

But geez, I could not possibly have seen this turn of events coming earlier this year, when the pressure was all on McCall to withdraw so Mr. Kennedy-Cuomo would have a clear field...

[dead]

Stand up and take it like a man, you wussy, wimpy has-been.

I don’t mean to scare you, but your statement to Lil’ Cuomo is almost exactly the same as what Al Sharpton said yesterday:

"I think that his best bet is do like my mother used to tell me: 'Come on in the room and take your spanking like a man.' "

[Sub-Driver]

how humiliating, even his own party doesn't want him. wonder what daddy thinks about all this.......

[jmaroneps37]

This is not necessarily good news. It's not necessarily bad news either. Here's why it might not be good news. Nothing, at this point, indicates that nation wide, there will be a lot of close races - no matter what the rat controlled media want you to believe. This will mean that big money guys on both sides will be looking for races to put money into. This could mean lots of money from rich Jewish donors who want to soothe their own guilt over putting up money to beat hilliard and mc pigtails. Now, none of this will beat Pataki, but mccall WILL come closer to doing that than lil andy. This could be bad for "down ballot" Republicans who might otherwise have a chance to win in a big Pataki surge.
It might not be THAT bad because it should be an easy romp for Pataki who will be winning big with significant (for a Republican) minority support. Which will be bad news for the evil donkey.

If he moves to Seattle I'll personally hunt you down like a dog!

I agree, tell him to take a hike and LOL.

[1Old Pro]

So little andy would rather be a coward and drop out before the primary than lose

EXACTLY! He needs an excuse for the HUGE loss. This way he can say, "Well I lost because I pulled out" and attempt to keep his "political viability" in NY intact for future battles.

If he moves to Seattle I'll personally hunt you down like a dog!

O.K., how about San Francisco.

From today's NY Times, Your Tax Dollars At Work ...

Late in 2000, as Andrew M. Cuomo neared the end of his tenure as secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, he ordered the agency to print 30,000 copies of a report about his years in office. This was no spartan government printing. It ran 150 pages and included a narrated compact disc and 19 photographs of Mr. Cuomo alongside such notables as Shimon Peres of Israel and Sarah Jessica Parker of "Sex and the City."

For Mr. Cuomo, the report summed up his most important battles and brightest achievements at HUD, the bloated bureaucracy he claimed to have transformed from a picture of waste, fraud and abuse into a model of government service.

But for Mr. Cuomo's critics, the $688,000 report, released just weeks before the end of the Clinton administration, symbolized how Mr. Cuomo attempted to use HUD as a springboard for his campaign to be governor of New York, which started just nine days after leaving Washington.

[Mr. K]

Don't forget Colisano is in the race too- the only problem Colisano has so far is that he HAS NOT PICKED A CLEAR MESSAGE.

If Colisano would stop with the "I will reduce spending and lower taxes" crapola and announce CLEARLY: "I WILL REDUCE TAXES AND SPENDING BY 10% ACROSS THE BOARD" he would win in a landslide.

HE NEEDS A SPCIFIC ITEM FOR PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR -NOT GENERALITIES!!!

"If he moves to Seattle I'll personally hunt you down like a dog!"

"O.K., how about San Francisco."

In that case, I will personally track you down!

New York bred him, nurtured him and should keep him rather than have him infecting other parts of our country!
