Well, technically he was elected as lieutenant governor, and the voters knew that put him first in line for the governors spot should something happen to Spitzer, so I guess you could say he was elected. 😛 ---

I saw a poll where they asked NYers if they want Cuomo or Kennedy and they each had about 20% or 30%. I laughed because that is like being asked, do you want to be kicked in the left nut or the right nut? Umm, well, neither actually. ---

It was a multiple choice poll, and those were the top two, if I recall correctly. Cuomo won the poll. ---

It’s as stupid to claim that someone would not be a good choice because they’re part of a political family than to claim that someone would be a good choice simply because of that. Perhaps more stupid, because at least the person has the life experience and involvement, going into things. ---
