What Andrew Cuomo's Experience Is Worth

Ryan Cooper, The Week
Wed, 09/12/2018 - 2:50am

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) just locked up an important endorsement in advance of Thursday's primary. The New York Times editorial board — in keeping with its limp dishrag political tradition — recommended him over leftist challenger Cynthia Nixon, mainly citing the incumbent's political experience. Yet the final several weeks of the campaign have demonstrated exactly what Cuomo's experience delivers: an endless cavalcade of incompetence, corruption, and dirty tricks. Cuomo likes to paint himself as akin to Robert Moses, the infamous "master builder" who controlled most infrastructure construction in New York for decades.

  • Mahomes throws 3 TDs as Chiefs clinch AFC’s top seed by breezing past the skidding Steelers 29-10
    Denver Post, Wednesday - 12/25/2024 - 04:06 PM

    By WILL GRAVES PITTSBURGH — Andy Reid donned a Santa Claus suit in a giddy Kansas City Chiefs locker room on Christmas Day, then handed his team a present it increasingly looks like it deserves: home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. How Reid managed to slide into the costume so quickly after Kansas City’s clinical 29-10 victory over the reeling Pittsburgh Steelers to lock up the top seed in the AFC for the fourth time in seven years is a mystery (though he hinted there’s an elf involved). How Reid’s team manages to pull away from the pack year after year is not. A lot of Patrick Mahomes.
