After skipping most of the Democratic National Convention, NY Gov. Cuomo finally made his appearance Thursday, giving a rousing partisan speech to New York delegates at a breakfast event.
On the morning after his old boss’ riveting nomination speech, Cuomo channeled many of former President Bill Clinton’s themes — and along the way did nothing to quell talk that New York’s governor will run for the Presidency in 2016.
Cuomo, who enjoys sky-high approval ratings, gave impassioned support to President Obama for advancing policies designed to help elevate the poor and the middle-class, and he attacked Republicans for striving to take the nation back to programs of the past that favored the rich, and led to the economic collapse of 2008.

Better Cuomo than Hillary. I still hope for 8 years of Republican administration, fiscal responsibility, border control, & drilling for oil on US soil.
Perhaps Obama will be seeking a second (non-consecutive) term?
While it hasn’t been an issue in New York, Cuomo was the one who forced Fannie to start accept subprime loans. That will be an issue in a national race. His personal life is somewhat scandalous. And his continuation of failed policies going back many years mean that he won’t be able to point to New York’s economy as proof as to why he should be president.
