Jim, what kind of prospects are you giving to Astorino.
I've known Chris Moss, Astorino's running mate for many years. Chris is a hell of a Sheriff, and has always been a stand up guy. Not to mention a big hunter/shooter

I see his prospects improving rapidly as this sorts itself out. Cuomo has screwed everybody. See if you can find Fred Dickers column for today. It is harsh. VERY harsh.

I'm curious to see, as this gets more widespread, if he starts trying to pander to the Upstate crowd by pushing legislature through to allow fracking in order to bolster votes

That said, the unionistas will eat that up and blindly vote (D) once again if he promises them jobs that he won't/can't deliver.

Cuomo has got to be red in the face fuming mad right now. I'll bet everyone in his office is trying to avoid the POS. He will need to blame someone...........

He likely never had an intention to stop corruption, being most likely neck deep in it himself for his entire political career. But this reminds me of a central message from Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.
From time to time Emperors would rise to power with the promise (along with the apparent authentic intention) of cleaning up the corruption that was crippling the government of Rome.
Basically, the Praetorian Guard had, soon after the death of Augustine (its founder, establishing it for his security) become a sort of Mafia in Rome, expecting to receive enormous sums of tax dollars just because that's what had become the long established norm. Besides that, everything was a scam to enrich them, and they came to think of all these scams as their birthright. Even emperors were powerless to do much about it, since if they tried too hard, they'd find themselves hacked or strangled to death and replaced by a less civic minded one.
It's just the nature of behemoth states that the most corrupt will rise to the real seats of power behind the scenes, and become thoroughly entrenched there, generationally. Which, of course, is why the Founders wanted the Federal Government to actually have very little power, apart from the instance of war, thought to be a very rare and unusual event, and would have been apart from the growth of the central state beyond its Constitutional bounds, and the war-seeking corruption that naturally follows.
But today we have not only behemoth Federal Government but behemoth state government to match, "all part of the same hypocrisy," as Michael Corleone observed in Godfather II.

Not trying to be combative, but if that's a publicly paid teaching position, wouldn't that be a bit of a contradiction in your otherwise accurate indictment of the growth and power of government on all levels? If private, then well done.

Your points on the fall of this empire and the growth of the .gov are made well. Unfortunately, they ring much more hollow now as you're voluntarily paid by the thing you advocate against.

Those kids have no choice in the matter of where they go to school. Or, I suppose, we who advocate for change could all become hermits and live in caves till the world comes around to our way of thinking.

It will come to nothing. If this comes to anything he'll get a pile of consultants, rehabilitate his image, and be a D presidential candidate in the next 12 years. Mark my words.

You could very well be right.
The one thing politicians are really good at is telling lies.
And unfortunately lots and lots of people love to believe happy lies, even when they know it's a lie.

That's the same sort of thinking that has allowed Marxists to take over academia and liberals to take over California. It's called "running from a fight".

So you have your NewYork city and Upstate with Italian and Jewish extract politicians, clean as the driven snow. I feel a kindred soul, since I have Chicago and Downstate with Irish and Jewish politicos, where a judge behind closed doors ruled that former mayor "shortshanks" Richard M. Daley is too sick to testify in a corruption case. Daley's testimony would have been "priceless" - "I don't remember nuttin, judge...heh hehhe haa, shnorf, guffaw, hee hee, shnorf...."

�What took so long?� quipped a Cuomo associate who has known the governor for more than 20 years. Therein lies the real problem.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.
