Cuomo could have been defeated this year.  The GOP should NEVER have assumed that the race not winnable.

Cuomo won by half a million votes!

Cuomo got 54% of the vote in an EXTREMELY weak field...Astorino was a joke... The Dems outpace the pubs in NYS voter party affiliation by 2:1
In comparison, Cuomo got 60% in the previous election. Andy better get used to being governor because he is going NOWHERE nationally.

I hope Cuomo has no national ambitions.  I want him here as our gov for decades!

http://nypost.com/2014/11/06/ny-breaks-lowest-voter-turnout-record-in-governors-race/

New York voters shattered a record in Tuesday’s elections — but no one’s going to be bragging about it.

This record is for the lowest turnout in a New York gubernatorial election in the modern era.

Only 3.7 million people bothered to go to the polls — the fewest since the state Board of Elections began keeping precise tallies in the 1970s.

That means only about one-third of the state’s 10.8 million active voters filled out ballots to re-elect Gov. Cuomo.

“That’s unbelievably low, extremely low,” said political consultant Bruce Gyory. It’s the first time the vote has dipped below 4 million, said board spokesman John Conklin.

The previous low point came in 1990, when 4.2 million people elected Mario Cuomo — the current governor’s dad — to a third term over little-known Republican Pierre Rinfret and Conservative Party rival Herb London.

Tuesday’s turnout was particularly dreadful in New York City — accounting for 27 percent of the total state share, down from 30 percent in 2010, according Gyory’s analysis.

Not to worry as long as Hillary is in the mix he'll have a bit of waiting, now through 2016.   Then if Hillary were to win and serve 2 terms that's 8 more years=10 years right there of waiting his turn).   Not to mention if the REPS. derail, via their becoming President, any DEM. candidate aspirations.   Much can happen to him in 10 years of waiting: scandal (see Spitzer), health issues, poor re-election numbers in NY, etc.   I assume he'd have to marry as well if he seeks the highest office.   I believe we only had 1 single President.

I read in the GAZ. prior to the election he had hoped for a 70% rating, not the 54% he wound up with.

Record low voter turnout for NYS election - 33% of eligible voters.  Cuomo won 54%.  That means Cuomo received 17.8% of the vote.  Yay!  Less than 18% of New Yorkers support the governor!  How much lower does it have to get before it is considered an illegitimate banana republic?

Congrats Cuomo!  You won the competition.  You were the least shitty of two shitty and corrupt choices.  And you motivated a whole 17% of the people to support you.  Great Job!

Half a million Democrats could have stayed home and Cuomo still would have won!
