A Prominent Republican is joining a prominent Democrat in predicting that Gov. Cuomo will become President Obama's running mate for vice president next year.
Former New York GOP boss William Powers, credited with playing a key role in electing Rudy Giuliani mayor and George Pataki governor, was effusive in his praise of Cuomo's successes in the just-ended legislative session, and in his prediction of the freshman governor's political future... "I don't think there's any doubt Obama is going to pick him as his running mate. The president is in trouble and [Vice President Joseph] Biden doesn't bring anything to his ticket.
...Cuomo, who saw a flurry of predictions last week in the wake of the gay-marriage victory that he'll run for president in 2016, has repeatedly refused to discuss the possibility of higher office.
...Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown earlier this year also predicted that Obama would pick Cuomo to replace Biden, who he claimed would be named by the president to replace Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
...Cuomo wouldn't have to resign as governor to run for vice president, although many voters would likely react negatively since he could be leaving office just two years into his four-year term.
Should the New York Governor indeed replace Biden, expect a spotlight on Cuomo's culpability in the housing meltdown as head of HUD under Bill Clinton. His role in the 2008 economic collapse earned him the well-deserved nickname "Architect of Ruin."
Hat tip: Wanda.
You'd expect Biden is becoming restive.

ReplyDeleteWhat a combo-the pro death and pro-gay marriage, anti-life, anti-family agenda, that the communists understand as their prime weapon against America's real strength, while our GOP won't defend them, because it might offend some moderates within, and outside the party of moral neutrality.
