Earlier today, The Blaze covered a burning question emerging in some political circles: Will New York Governor Andrew Cuomo replace Joe Biden as President Barack Obama’s 2012 running mate?
Cuomo, who recently pushed forward with a major victory for gay rights advocates when he made New York the latest state in the union to legalize same-sex marriage, would be an intriguing pick for the president. Considering that Obama has not yet landed (he’s “evolving”) on gay marriage, the governor could secure a portion of the electorate that the president has been somewhat weak in courting.
Today, Cuomo was asked directly if there’s any truth to the charge. Watch his response, below:

Posted on July 5, 2011 at 9:48pmAt over one hundred thousand dollars a year plus “perts” do you think Obama would at least share his personal trainer “Mr. Love” with Mr. Cuomo? God help us, please! Vote Obama out in 2012.

Posted on July 5, 2011 at 8:43pmYes, it seems that Mr. Obama is getting exasperated with Joe Biden’s gaffes. Not that if makes any real difference since he’ll really have an arduous time maintaining his reelection bid. But then again, Mr. Obama does have those unions that will attempt to incite riots so he can declare a “State of Emergency” and suspend the 2012 election season. This president is too desperate to see all of his power slip away from his grasp.

Posted on July 5, 2011 at 10:10pmThis guy (Cuomo) is not in a small part responsible for the housing collapse. He’s behind the democratic strategy to threaten banks that would not make doomed housing loans to unqualified recipient class borrowers. If I sound cynical it’s because these jokers are actually “demonic”. We have to take the reins from their incompetent hands.

Posted on July 5, 2011 at 6:01pmI don’t pay attention to what they say since they all lie. Reminds me of when they asked Hillary if she was going to run back in 2007 or so and she sat there, didn’t bat an eye and adamantly said she had no intentions whatsoever to run and gave that silly laugh of hers. So that‘s why I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out not to be Obama that runs, but her. We’ll see. Re Obama – it doesn’t matter who runs as VP, he….will….lose, one way or another, sooner or later and hopefully a lot sooner.

Posted on July 5, 2011 at 7:40pmI agree! Besides, I hope to god he picks this New York liberial. PLEASE PICK CUOMO!! That would put BO’s chance of winning in 2012 at about 8%. But of course this is all moot. There isn’t going to be an election in 2012. BO isn’t going anywhere if he declares a nationwide “National State of Emergency” due to, oh I don’t know, civil strife, riots, or maybe food riots??? Hold on people, it’s going to get REAL interesting very SOON. The leaches on the left will start something real soon. You can almost feel it……….
