Former New York Governor Mario Cuomo says I should pick Hillary Clinton as my Vice President when I win the Democratic nomination.
He called me on the phone to tell me that a Democratic disaster looms in November if Hillary and I don’t get together. Like this whole delegate squabble is somehow my fault.
I love Mario like a brother, but he’s from New York so I have to discount half of what he says.
The problem is that I don’t know which half.
This presidential campaign was running along just fine for a whole year before the first primary election. It was positive, upbeat, and everyone was against George Bush and the Republicans who were running the country into the ground. Only when Senator Clinton started losing did the campaign turn nasty.
I told him, “It wasn’t me, Mario. It was Hillary. She’s to blame. Hillary and Howard Dean.” Mario didn’t listen. New Yorkers never listen. They just talk. Hillary has become a New Yorker so I have to ask myself why I would want to have her around the White House every day.
Thanks for nothing, Mario.
