Obviously segments of the progressive base has problems with him but his family legacy is an asset and he is positioned to dominate in his reelection campaign. He has shown he can a. work with Republicans and b. pass progressive laws at the same time. Cuomo may just be the next Bill Clinton (sorry Hillary). We know we are stuck with a Republican house so why shouldn't Democrats work to maximize their ability to make progress despite that depressing disturbance? If Hillary doesn't run or makes too many mistakes, who is seriously going to think someone like O'Malley or Jay Nixon could stop Governor Cuomo? It would be poetic justice too since Clinton only got elected in 1992 because Governor Cuomo did not run.

If Hillary doesn't run, who could stop Andrew Cuomo?

I'm not in the mood to discuss what an actual Cuomo presidency might be like, I am more interested in hearing opinions about this electoral possibility as far as winning the primary and the presidency. He's proven to be a solid vote getter so far. O'Malley and Biden are not realistic options.

Edit: I didn't mean to suggest that I believe the Democratic nominee should take the work to maximize their ability to make progress despite that depressing disturbance approach...I offer it as a likely talking point to sell Cuomo to those who may feel some dissatisfaction with his record as Governor.

I'd like to know why anyone thinks the Democrats should nominate another corporatist—let alone New York Governor Andrew Cuomo?

Again this thread is not about whether or not Dems should nominate Cuomo. I'm here to discuss his electoral chances if he ran.
