    Gov. Christie refused to help Rob Astorino sayong that Rob Astorino had no chance. Now he’s looking a little stupid.

    Why not just pit Cuomo against Christy, and the scandals will cancel each other?

    Dream on Brian Lehrer. I know Cuomo ain’t one of your WFP progressive candidates. You will only be happy if the prestigous Mayor De-Blassio and Senator/ Proffessor Warren are preisdent. But sorry most of us want centerists and support Governer Cuomo.
