(4,492 posts)I voted for Cuomo for AG in 2006 before moving. I didn't know much about his father (he was first elected when I was 2), but I did meet him and shake his hand in 4th grade. I was never eligible to vote for him.
One thing about charisma-- in the day and age of YouTube and social media, a political speech can go viral in a matter of minutes. Usually a passionate speech about a topic will at least generate organic shares. I have yet to see a Cuomo speech like this. (I did read his book and there are a lot of issues he speaks very passionately about). For an office like POTUS, I'd at least like to see one speech like that go viral.
True about the scandals, but he's also never had a challenger that's received national attention until this year (and it is the age of celebrity politicians). Let's see how he comes out after Cynthia Nixon.
