The pundits snicker at the credentials of Cuomo, who carries the endorsement of the official party but whose political past renders him more than suspect. Cuomo is a political harple, the experts say, an unconscionably ambitious man with no political scruples. They chuckle at his fate: When he was no longer of use to Carey, who propped him up as a straw man to draw away Beame's support in the primary, the governor dumped him. Now Cuomo draws...
