Received a call in Brooklyn from a (barely intelligible) pollster with a Utah caller ID tonight, testing the following negative attacks against Andrew Cuomo. Many seemed specifically tailored to turn off progressives.
(It was the same poll blogged by Maggie Haberman.)
"Would you be more or less likely to vote for Cuomo knowing that:"
- There are no African-Americans, Jews, or Hispanics on the Democratic ticket.
- He was involved in the failure of Freddie Mac/Fannie Mae.
- He received the endorsement of the Working Families Party.
- He supported building a mosque near ground zero.
- He refused to investigate Eliot Spitzer for money laundering.
- As HUD Secretary, he launched investigations into African American mayors.
- [A question about Steve Rattner and the state pension funds scandal]
- He says he supports same-sex marriange but refused to call Democrats to help it pass the State Senate.
- He refuses to take part in debates that would include minor party, African American candidates. |
