Governor Cuomo sounds so much like his father.

And he is giving a rousing speech!

If you young'uns never heard Mario Cuomo's 1984 convention speech, please google it.

... but under his leadership, NY got marriage equality and a $15 minimum wage last year.

For the record, I voted for Zephyr Teachout in the 2014 primary.

Maybe he can be pushed a little left. Brother Chris seems to be a little more progressive.

Anyway, he's better than Pataki or the Republican alternative.

And yes, his 1984 speech was one for the ages.

He was a great one.
