Cuomo despite his issues came from a political dynasty. So, yeah I consider it a landslide of sorts. It was an amazing victory...call it what you will. MM, we had our go and some was good and some bad. Clearly, it is bad now and we need to try something different. Time for next generation to fix' things. The times they are a changing.
