...decides against Kennedy, Paterson could name an upstate candidate with downstate appeal, like popular Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown, an African-American Democrat who could win over liberal voters in New York City. (Brown garnered 6% overall in the Marist poll and 10% among upstate voters.) State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, besides polling even with Kennedy in the Marist survey, offers Paterson another benefit. The "accidental" governor - who replaced Eliot Spitzer after his resignation amid a highly publicized sex scandal - will have to run for his own office in 2010, and Cuomo could be a formidable challenger in the Democratic primary...
...governor, David Paterson, who will appoint Clinton's successor, there's a lot more to consider than just the Kennedy name - and the Kennedy family cheering section. A Dec. 9 Marist poll found that 25% of New York residents think Paterson should pick Kennedy vs. 25% favoring Andrew Cuomo, with the rest either divided among other candidates or "unsure."

Gwynne ’51, forever known to audiences everywhere as Herman Munster of the sitcom “The Munsters.” And what about one of the most influential alumni of all time, Rivers Cuomo ’99-’06, Weezer rocker? You could take his picture by the pool, because he’s the next big thing. Don’t feel too poorly about your mistakes—it certainly isn’t easy sifting through the sea of brilliance that...
...York's newly-appointed Archbishop John O'Connor had already spent much of his short time in the position taking on the state's two most prominent Catholic Democrats: Governor Mario Cuomo and Vice Presidential-nominee Geraldine Ferraro. By the time the dinner rolled along, tensions between the Catholic Church and the Democratic Party had become so strained that the Democratic nominee Walter Mondale simply skipped the event. Reagan attended alone and, on Election Day, captured 61% of Catholic voters, the largest share that any Republican presidential candidate had ever earned. No GOP candidate has matched it since...
