Headline of the Day: "Why is Andrew Cuomo liberal now?"

Gov. Andrew Cuomo sat down with Rachel Maddow for a Hurricane Sandy-themed Gotham interview where he was also asked if he "resented" the presidential speculation. "Resent is a strong word," Mr. Cuomo replied. "Presidential speculation comes with the job in some ways, but it is not helpful, and it can be hurtful....You start suggesting I want to run for president, Rachel, and then they think, well, maybe he is more interested in his career and his political ambition than the state. Or maybe this is a complicated equation for him. Complicated is bad in relationships. I like to keep it simple."
