Newspaper Endorsed Candidate Go Down
As old media loses circulation it lose influence The influence of Newspaper endorsement continues to decline. All three papers supported Wilson over DiNapoli. The DN and NYP supported loser Dan Donovan. The NYT won with Eric Schneiderman but lost with Term Limits and Congressmen Michael McMahon and John Hall. Schneiderman KOs Dan in AG race (NYP) *Schneiderman Is Elected New York’s Attorney General (NYT) * Democrat Is Elected 'Sheriff' (WSJ) *Dem Schneiderman to succeed Cuomo as AG (DN) * Dinapoli surges into 'comptrol' (NYP) * Thomas DiNapoli Re-Elected Comptroller in a Tight Race * Controller DiNapoli wins despite Wilson challenge (DN) * Harry Wilson Concedes In Comptroller Race
Not a great not for the Mayor either Mayor Bloomberg’s endorsement scorecard: 11 wins, 8 loses and 4 too close to call. Or Koch and Rudy

Cuomo vs Albany
Cuomo vs The Unions
Cuomo vs WFP ?
The honeymoon for the new governor is over as all the states problems fall on him. For a candidate who did not mention how he would govern during the campaign. Cuomo now must start running the state, not from day one but from the day after he was elected. He go lots of problems. Both the AG Schneiderman and the sucessful campaign of Comptroller DiNapoli were made possible by the same labor groups that Cuomo must fight to cut workers and pension to reduce spending, balance the budget and bail out the states' underfunded and pension corruption. Cuomo has to understand that it was the public employees labor groups that elected Harry Reid, and the new governor and Senator Boxer in California.

If Cuomo succeeds in New York, there’s “no reason” why Washington, D.C. and a presidential run can’t be in his future, says Fred Dicker.
Nation Goes Tea Party As NY More Liberal Left
With the election of a liberal AG back by the unions and the WFP. The Green Party Secures Ballot Status right beside the WFP means the liberal forces are major players in the city and state election process. Schneiderman called his win a victory for “activists.” The Democratic-dominated five boroughs played a big role in the wave that carried Democrats to victory. The nation voted to put the GOP in charge of the House to put pressure on Obama to balance the budget among other things. In New York as the voters basically voted the Bums (incumbent) back into office the realities of the budget deficit, cleaning up corruption and dysfunction in Albany falls on Cuomo. Talk about man in the middle. The flipping NY five (and counting?) * Democratic Rep. Michael McMahon conceded defeat to his GOP challenger, “Tea Party darling” Michael Grimm.* Fight Back PAC Declares Victory Gay Rights PAC
