vcczar Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Andrew Cuomo (NY-D) is one of the major governors in US History to not run for president. He was the son of Mario Cuomo, who was a popular governor of NY who also served about 10 years and was considered a strong Dem pres candidate, despite never running.

vcczar Posted October 6 Author Share Posted October 6 Unfavorable for his scandals and for serving as Gov for too long, although I think he would have probably been a great president. I'd argue that NY Gov is probably most transferable to President of the US -- high population, working with a mega World City, tons of foreign diplomats, finance center, diversity, and diversity among industries, great mix of urban and rural, etc, etc, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
