I mentioned the first time that the reason that the Attorney General said it was not was because the Attorney General has no clue. I was correct. If the voters elect Andrew Cuomo to the post of Governor this state will suffer from that mistake for years and years and years. Andrew is a nice boy. He would be a massive disaster as Governor.

I care little if there is a LtGov or no LtGov, but there is (or was) a hard-won and noble State Constitution in place, confirmed by the populace, which states specifically that in the case of a vacancy in that seat, the President of the Senate fulfills that role until a LtGov is elected.
