Only in Liberal World.

The sound bite I heard of that Cuomo press conference was of King Slick saying, "The only person on this stage whose political career is over is ME."

Once again, even though it was Cuomo's press conference, it was all about Clintoon.

[gridlock]

"I believe in my heart that if I did a negative ad [against Democratic rival Carl McCall], I would have won," said Mr. Cuomo,...

This guy was 20 points down, with the entire NY Demoncratic Machine lined up against him, and he thinks he could have turned that around with one attack ad? To say he is delusional is an understatement.

The fact that this delusional megalomaniacal hack is going to be hanging around NY politics for the next twenty years or so is great news for the Republicans. Look for him to step on his weenie time after time, and stir up the racial hornets next in primary after primary. With any luck, he will make the Demoncrats uncompetitive in a couple dozen races before he is through.

And BTW, I don't recall seeing one single negative ad directed at ANDREW, unless you count his own. ANDREW made his own bad press. He didn't need an opponent to do that for him.

Hey Andrew...you're a liberal.

Tell me, what do you think of Affirmative Action and Political Correctness now...hmmm?

A yellow or brown cross-dressing herpes-infected lesbian for Gov. in '6.

It's yellow or brown cross-dressing herpes-infected lesbians' turn in '6.

A teacher can't properly use the word niggardly in a classroom, but Andy Cuomo can say that McCall got his party's nomination because it was his turn...?

[Steely Tom]

It sounds to me like this is what happened. Realizing that Andy is an out-of-control power-mad little egomaniac (recognizing their own kind), the bosses of the Democratic party (Bill and Hillary) know that there is no way to talk this boob out of running for Governor this time. So, after letting reality sink in, they arrange a carefully constructed face-saving setup to ease him off stage. In such a way that the minimum of damage is done to Andy, and the racially-polarized NY Democrat Party.

Kind of like defusing a car-bomb. Part of the deal is that Bubba himself will stand on stage for some hand holding while Andy gives his big speach about how we have to think of the good of the Democratic Party first.

Then Andy blows the whole thing by going to some reporter and saying what he really wanted to say up there on stage.

Boy, I'll bet Bill and Hillary are so pleased with him.

Or...

Maybe they knew their boy all too well, and saw this all coming from the beginning.

Either way, it's a good morning!

Pandering to neo-liberal special interest groups is a double edged sword.

[Dick Bachert]

Gee, if Andy hadn't chosen to go away (perhaps he will take the klintoons with him), I'd have to refashion this item as he was CLEARLY the front-runner to displace Joe:

Cuomo saved himself a lot of embarrassment. McCall will be lucky to pull 40%.
