And to B2, Cuomo is probably more popular upstate (among Dems at least) than in the city, but he still easily beat Zephyr Teachout in '12. - ty97 Mar 22, 07:55

- I can't believe you'd want someone with zero experience running our state. She's not Hillary who had years and years of political experience. - Krusty Mar 22, 07:54 23

  - I can't believe you'd vote for someone you feel is corrupt over her. - ty97 Mar 22, 07:59 20
    - show me a politician who isn't corrupt and I'll show you a politician who hasn't been caught yet -- nm - Beaker Mar 22, 08:03 2
      - Not sure I agree, but presume I do. There are levels of corruption. - ty97 Mar 22, 08:08 1
        
        agreed on varying levels. -- nm - Beaker Mar 22, 08:12
    - *head tilt* -- nm - groiny Mar 22, 08:03
    - I would and it kills me. I hate that my only real option is likely him or her because neither should have the job. - Krusty Mar 22, 08:02 15
      - Ignore this question if it's too personal (votes are personal) but if willing, can you tell me who you voted for in the '14 primary for Gov? -- nm* - ty97 Mar 22, 08:09 8
        
        I didn't vote for governor in that primary as a protest against Cuomo. I've said, I'm not a fan. - Krusty Mar 22, 08:14 7
        
        I voted for him (begrudgingly) in the general as well. I'm not a masochist :) -- nm - ty97 Mar 22, 08:15 6

        That's not what I mean when I say political power. - Krusty Mar 22, 09:03
        
        It's a view difference on experience really. I'm fine with a leader who doesn't have political experience. - ty97 Mar 22, 08:21 1

      - the governor isn't unilaterally making decisions though... -- nm - Andie Mar 22, 08:07 5
        
        I can't rely on the person to bring in the right people as we're seeing in D.C. - Krusty Mar 22, 08:12 4
        
        the person in DC is bringing in people that exactly correlate to his values. Assume she would do the same (also assume her values are 180 degrees -- (edited) - Andie Mar 22, 08:16 3
        
        True. I'd love new blood, especially in this corrupt state. - Krusty Mar 22, 08:27 2
        
        I think part of the problem (a very unfortunate one) is that whatever level you start at, you become corrupted. I mean, BdB can go jump. -- nm - ty97 Mar 22, 08:37 1
        
        I don't mean that everywhere (or at least not sure I do) but here, no doubt. -- nm - ty97 Mar 22, 08:37
- If the election were today I'd vote for her. But I feel I need to learn a lot more before making a decision. - ty97 Mar 22, 07:54 19
  - [deleted] 18
    - absolutely. I similarly feel it's too early to be locked out for her - ty97 Mar 22, 08:07 17
      - [deleted] 16
        
        I hope not! I don't care that she's a woman. I only care that she's unqualified because of a lack of any experience. -- nm - Krusty Mar 22, 08:15 9
        
        I think this gets to the fundamental of our disagreement. - ty97 Mar 22, 08:18 8
        
        Disagreement was the wrong word. Views was the better word. -- nm - ty97 Mar 22, 08:19 7
        
        It's fine, we can disagree. :-) -- nm - Krusty Mar 22, 08:21 6
        
        But I'm not even sure we disagree yet! - ty97 Mar 22, 08:22 5
        
        where does she fall on the issues that concern you the most? -- nm - groiny Mar 22, 08:25 3

        which would be reason enough for me to vote for her IMO. - groiny Mar 22, 08:35
        
        Fair enough. I'm not checking any box again, it seems. -- nm - Krusty Mar 22, 08:23
        
        yeah, I know that's not directed at Krusty (he's not that guy in the least) but yeah, that also does not help. Nor does the lesbian thing. - ty97 Mar 22, 08:14 5
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Yeah, that pissed me off. Disgusting. -- nm - Krusty Mar 22, 08:26
        
        if the worst thing she has in her closet is a ballgagged lesbian, she is already ahead of Hillary! -- nm - groiny Mar 22, 08:18 2
        
        You still wouldn't vote for her. -- nm - ty97 Mar 22, 08:20 1
        
        if what I know of the guy there is true, I absolutely would vote for anyone but him. -- nm - groiny Mar 22, 08:21
and Krusty, Cuomo got his first job thanks to Daddy so *shrug* -- nm - ty97 Mar 22, 07:44 10
- How he got his first job sucks but isn't surprising or uncommon. But he worked for Housing and Urban Development before becoming the AG and then - Krusty Mar 22, 07:50 9
  - He ran for Gov before becoming AG. -- nm - ty97 Mar 22, 07:52 8
    - And was at Housing for more than a decade before that and ended up the AG. He had years of experience. -- nm - Krusty Mar 22, 07:56 7
      - and, you think he's corrupt. so, maybe fresh talent isn't all bad? -- nm - Andie Mar 22, 07:56 6
        
        I do think he's corrupt. I don't think he gives NYC what it deserves and needs and I would happily vote for someone else. Very happily, actually. - Krusty Mar 22, 08:00
        
        NY (and NJ) in a nutshell. Take the corrupt person with experience over the new person. - ty97 Mar 22, 07:57 4
        
        She's not just the new person. She's done nothing in any office for anyone. -- nm - Krusty Mar 22, 08:04 3
        
        Oh, I see. Stick with corruption, then. -- nm - Spawn Mar 22, 08:06 2
        
        The devil I know... -- nm - Krusty Mar 22, 08:15 1
        
        ... keeps me with a devil. -- nm - Spawn Mar 22, 08:17
