That's right. Cuomo was the expected to run by a lot of people both in 1988 and in 1992 and he decided not to run in either.
I think he would have had a better result than Dukakis in 1988. Certainly he would not have kept silent after the attacks of Lee Atwater and company. Don't know if he could have defeated GHW Bush.. what do you think?
I think Cuomo would have destroyed GHW Bush. I believe the only reason Bush won was that Dukakis was THAT bad. He was as bad as Dole was in 1996.
I agree, Cuomo would not have been the pushover Dukakis turned out to be. He would've campaigned along more centrist lines, and he
certainly would have been able to counter Bush's fierce negative campaigning much more effectively.
Not sure what's behind those mob-related rumours, though. For sure something like that would have buried Cuomo during a Presidential campaign.
