The New York Daily News has this editorial, asking Governor Andrew Cuomo not to accept the nomination of the Independence Party in 2014. The editorial assumes that if Cuomo were not the Independence Party nominee, the party would probably not be able to find a nominee who would poll at least 50,000 votes. The newspaper, for some years, has been a critic of the Independence Party, and hopes that the party dies. Thanks to Bill Van Allen for the link.

In NY fusion politics sometimes candidates take lines they might not feel entirely comfortable with simply because it block an opponent from taking the line… unless the party would like a primary… which both major parties would want to avoid given the expense involved.
I heard Cuomo is going to seek the Reform Party nomination.
Maybe this columnist is pushing to have fusion done away with in New York State.
