The man most thought to be a strong challenger to Andrew Cuomo says he doesn't want to go on a suicide mission and be Andy's sacrificial lamb. That means Westchester County's Rob Astorino may not have the stomach and audacity to run. Seeking higher office is often a question of just saying I'm doing it now because the train may not stop here again.
Case in point, Barack Obama in 2008. Or on a much smaller scale, when I first ran in 1991.
The challenge of beating Mr. Cuomo is difficult because its a Democratic state and on many issues the incumbent has performed well.
He is vulnerable on some issues for sure, but so far Mr. Astorino has shown little statewide to suggest he really is interested.
Meeting with Crazy Carl doesn't exactly smack of a consensus.
