<\/a>Gov. skips Obama's GOP bashing fundraiser in Manhattan<\/strong><\/p>

From Eric Dondero:<\/p>

The Post is reporting this morning that Governor Andrew Cuomo skipped a third Obama fundraiser in New York. And apparently his repeated absences at national Democrat events, is beginning to raise eyebrows. <\/p>

From columnist Michael Goodwin, the NY Post<\/a> \"Cuomo is New York's undercover governor\" May 1:<\/p>

Even better if Cuomo skipped the event because he didn't want to pollute his bid to fix Albany by being at a partisan fest where Obama was sure to bash Republicans. <\/p>

A big reason is that his centrist course opens potential pitfalls with his party's liberal base. As a candidate, most of his ads never mentioned he is a Democrat. Most of his belt-tightening proposals since taking office were more readily adopted by the GOP-controlled state Senate than by Dems running the Assembly...<\/p><\/blockquote>

<\/a>Earlier this year, a diehard Republican activist stunned the conservative community in New York with praise for Cuomo. <\/p>

From CapitolTonight.com<\/a>, Tea Partyer, and Carl Paladino Campaign Manager, \"[Michael] Caputo Crusades for Cuomo\"<\/p>

\"Like you, I oppose the Democrat Party’s progressive agenda,” Caputo writes. “Like you, I fought like Hell to stop Andrew Cuomo’s campaign for Governor of New York State. I don’t much like him; I’m still angry about his dirty campaign against Carl.”<\/p>

“But, at the risk of a localized lightning strike, I must admit the Governor’s early fiscal moves are conservative, responsible and absolutely necessary.”<\/p>

“…I am a die-hard Republican who fought in the trenches for Ronald Reagan, Jack Kemp and Carl Paladino. I’m as conservative as you can get, and last year I spent most of my time criticizing Andrew Cuomo.”<\/p>

“It is starting to look like I may end up eating a few of my words. But I would happily sit for that meal if the Governor delivers real fiscal reform. In fact, I am writing to tell you I will work to push Cuomo’s fiscal agenda.”<\/p><\/blockquote>

Note - Republicans hold a very slight majority in the State Senate by one single vote.<\/p>
