Bush 1 wd have won. The times determine the fortunes. But, even had Cuomo won, he would not have been a good Prez. Better than W, but there are tapeworms who'd better Prezes.

This is hypothetical and impossible to prove either way- but Cuomo was a big figure in the Democratic Party and would have given Bush 41 a much better fight, as he would have had a lot of support from name recognition and reputation alone. Dukakis was obscure and had little charisma. Also, the GOP party establishment was always lukewarm about 41. Tully- Especially after he was smeared by the RNC with the Willie Horton ads-right?

Cuomo was much better-known than Dukakis- who didn't have much of a national profile in 1988. Dukakis also was a poor campaigner. Cuomo was a well-respected figure who might have had an easier time defeating George H. W. Bush. I disagree, Tully.

Better check with that notorious neocon Joe Biden about that, Mr. Stein. Cuomo had as much chance of being elected in 1988 as Dukakis did.

It seems that those who are not currently serving or running for office are the only ones who are capable of speaking freely.

But Lieberman's nonsense gets a free pass. Webb and Florida's Crist are the future if someone gives them a voice.
