Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s very public humiliation of the New York Working Families Party last week was a spectacular example of revenge served cold but sweet.
Cuomo had been fretting about the party since it endorsed gadfly actress Cynthia Nixon for governor last May, but with Nixon’s demise in September’s primary, progressives hoping to challenge the governor from the left next year almost certainly will do so without a structured political base.
Indeed, Cuomo is on the verge of a blowout re-election victory on Nov. 6. He will begin a third term having positioned himself as New York’s most powerful governor in modern times — despite a long-simmering influence-peddling scandal that continues to yield convictions.
But cutting legal corners is how politics is played in the Empire State these days, and Cuomo’s relationship with the Working Families Party is a case in point.
