Cuomo and The Ground Zero Mosque...
Does Cuomo really believe that there is nothing he can do to stop the Ground Zero mosque because to prevent it would violate freedom of religion? This has nothing to do with freedom of religion. No one is suggesting the mosque cannot be built elsewhere. The practice of Islam itself has not been banned...
Cuomo Support Dips, Lazio Rises...
It wasn’t too long ago I said that Cuomo’s entry to the race would be the prologue to a decline in his support.
It seems like that is happening already.
Support for New York’s top Democrats among independent voters is eroding as voters remain dissatisfied with government in Albany and...
Cuomo Finally Announces Gubernatorial Bi...
The first thing I’d like to say is “It’s about time.”
Solidly leading all match-ups, the race is his to lose. And, call me crazy, he could still lose it. If you think it’s impossible, just ask Martha Coakley.
The biggest problem for the Republican candidates and for Steve...

The New York gubernatorial race takes another bizarre twist. Andrew Cuomo is still on the bench and Carl Paladino is allegedly going to announce on April 5, but the latest development is that Long Island Democrat Steve Levy is switching parties to run in the GOP primary.
Strangely enough, some county...
Cuomo Plummets In New Marist Poll; Recus...
As I suspected, Andrew Cuomo has taken a hit in the polls. A rather sharp drop in fact.
Although everyone from Mayor Bloomberg to Rep. Anthony Weiner to Paterson himself have rejected the suggestion floated by Republicans and some supporters of the governor that Cuomo is too conflicted to investigate...
S.E. Cupp: Lazio Is The New Scott Brown...
My friend S.E. Cupp, in her latest column for the New York Daily News, dares to say that the New York governor’s race isn’t merely just waiting for Cuomo to jump in and cruise to an effortless victory.
To fellow jaded New Yorkers who think they’ve heard it all, I humbly offer this:...
Paterson Exits Race; And What Will Cuomo...
I suspected a while back that something was gonna take Paterson out of the race. I suspect, given the circumstances, that the Democratic Party is somehow involved in forcing his move this week.
A scandal-scarred Gov. Paterson Friday pulled the plug on his short-lived election bid – but calls for...

By now you have probably figured out that the big bombshell story about Governor Paterson was not much of a bombshell story. It certainly was nothing that would prompt Paterson’s resignation.
Rick Lazio has criticized the New York Times before for letting hype brew about the story without publishing...

Barack Obama wants something. Scott Brown doesn’t. Brown wins. Yes, last week’s special election provided the most awesome result of all time. But it could delightfully be topped. The one thing more fun for conservatives than the phrase “Republican Senator Number 41″...
Chris Collins Needs To Sit This One Out...
Rudy Giuliani’s endorsement of Rick Lazio should have put any remaining intentions of Chris Collins to run for governor to rest.
Well, it apparently hasn’t.
While he has yet to formally commit to the race, Erie County Executive Chris Collins has been urged by 15 Republican county chairs...
A Potential Ethics Problem For Cuomo...
Lately, it seems as though most are taking it for granted that Andrew Cuomo will run for governor, and win. The polls all point to Cuomo easily defeating any challenger. But, Bloomberg News reports that there may be some issues in Cuomo’s closet.

New Jersey and New York are similar neighbors. For one, both are homes to NFL venues. Of course, the Garden State hosts two teams, even if they’re equipped with out-of-state license plates, while the Empire State has one, as long as the Bills count as a pro squad. The resemblance goes beyond...

A $1,000 per ticket fundraiser in Rochester today for Erie County Executive Chris Collins has fueled speculation that Collins may run for governor next year.
Buffalo News reporter Bob McCarthy recaps Collins’ recent activity:
The county executive, meanwhile, has been traveling the state in recent...

It’s an ominous moment for one’s career when the President of the United States tells you to quit your job. Granted, it’s the same president who spends his free time micromanaging banks and car companies, but David Paterson can’t feel comfortable about an anti-endorsement that submarines his...

Ouch. This has to hurt.
Gov. Paterson’s lead over Attorney General Andrew Cuomo in a potential 2010 Democratic gubernatorial primary has dwindled from a whopping 23 points last month to just two, according to a poll released today.
For the first time since May, Cuomo has a better favorable rating...

While I think an endorsement of anyone is premature at this point, I am pleased they didn’t jump on the Caroline Kennedy train.
The Western New York heart may say Brian Higgins. But the head says Andrew M. Cuomo.
It will be more than a month before Gov. David A. Paterson announces his choice...
