Cuomo would lose.

He is too ethnic for America in 1992. Dukakis had the same problem in 1988. Dukakis is Greek and Cuomo is an Italian. 1992 is 20 years removed from The Godfather, Mafioso, etc.

Bush would have played the ethnic card.

Clinton, Gephardt are more "white" than Cuomo.

I could see a Cuomo-Clinton ticket which actually would be quite similar to the Bartlett-Hoynes ticket in the West Wing. Northeastern intellectual Catholic liberal type with a centrist southern womanizing running mate.

They would lose.....Cuomo is an Italian and Bush would have played the ethnic card, he wouldn't have won any Southern states, even if he picked Clinton.....

Cuomo probably knew why he never ran for president, he never wanted to hear the stereotypes of mobs, etc.
