In a recent fit of slow-news speculation, we recently speculated about Chuck Schumer as a possible vice-president, and Hillary (No, we're not trying to force her out before all the votes have been counted) Clinton as a possible successor to Bloomberg.
Sorry to say, we didn't think of the compelling political logic of this one:
How about Andrew Cuomo in City Hall:
"For the attorney general, the thinking goes like this: Cuomo, whose ambition and political skills are both well known, would like to be governor. He might have found an opening in a Democratic primary against Eliot Spitzer in 2010. The Emperor's Club revelations put an end to that possibility.
"A campaign against David Paterson would be trickier. After carefully rebuilding the bridges he burnt in his 2002 gubernatorial primary race against Carl McCall, Cuomo may be unable, or at least unwilling, to take on another black candidate popular within his party, let alone an incumbent governor.
"Cuomo's options for advancement are slim. With a Democratic field lacking a towering figure, the mayor's race may provide an opening. City Hall, after all, is just a short walk from his apartment."
So, maybe Christine Quinn will be getting a subpoena from Albany over that member item mess...
