Andrew Cuomo has been spending much of the afternoon meeting privately with the different leaders of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish sets, including the two factions of the Satmars and with the Pupa Grand Rabbi, sources familiar with the meeting said.
Vito Lopez, the embattled Brooklyn Democratic Party chairman, was with Cuomo at the meeting with the Pupa rabbi, a source famliar with the meeting said.
Another source said Cuomo was being squired by Rabbi David Niederman, of the United Jewish Organization. He’s a Satmar leader who’s also close to Lopez, who is reportedly at the center of two federal investigations.

What an opportunist…he’ll do diddly squat for the Jewish community (maybe for KJ, like everyone does for some crazy reason.)I’m not saying Paladino is a Tzaddik (none of them is), but he is getting my vote.
Paladino should get every Frum Jewish vote.
True that Cuomo isn’t much of an oheiv yisroel. But Paladino is a renine meshiginer.
Hey ny’ers, just keep voting for those Liberal Democrats & it will be the same ol same ol. More taxes & more spending.
