the same situation arose around his father. His father, Mario, was a wonderful governor. Extremely progressive. More so than Andrew. There was a lot of talk at the time of his governorship about his running for President.

If I recall correctly, he toyed with the idea for a while and then went a hard "no" on it, and never considered it again.

I don't know if there is some skeleton in the family closet, or if these guys are just too smart to take on the job.

I have had my differences with Andrew in the past, (and btw, Andrew, it's STILL the Tappan Zee Bridge, NOT the Mario Cuomo bridge!) but I would vote for him in a heartbeat if he chose to run next election.
