Speculation I've read is a combination of 1) wanted a woman 2) Cuomo is the successor for Governor - ty97 Jan 23, 06:14 10
- moving Cuomo over would also mean most of the top politicians in NY were chosen, not elected -- nm - decline Jan 23, 06:18
- I'm betting on #1 being accurate. - Will Hunting Jan 23, 06:18
- 3) is mistaken, as the Dems control both houses of the Legislature - znufrii Jan 23, 06:16 6
  - This is what I presumed. Maybe I read it wrong. Maybe a certain committee approves the Atty General? -- nm - ty97 Jan 23, 06:17 5
    - I don't know the specific mechanics of it. -- nm - znufrii Jan 23, 06:18 4

        I don't recall that at all, probably didn't get much coverage outside NY -- nm - ty97 Jan 23, 06:23 2

        I don't recall it either, I was probably to busy trying to get into Barack Obama's pants. -- nm - znufrii Jan 23, 06:28

I guess he felt it was important to have a woman. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 23, 06:12 6

  - helps him win over upstate voters -- nm - znufrii Jan 23, 06:17 4
    - *ding* I see this as his way of saying he's running for Gov. - krusty Jan 23, 06:41
    - I'm just shocked to discover Duchess County has a Dem rep. - ty97 Jan 23, 06:19 2
      - DUTCHESS! -- nm - loosilu Jan 23, 06:21
      - It still leans Republican, but she's been a moderate Rep. Hopefully she'll move further left once in the Senate. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 23, 06:20
