2. I think it's the least of his problems.

I've heard his name get mentioned before, and more when I lived in NYC...but the general context was usually "God, I hope that asshole Andy Cuomo doesn't run for President."

Further, he's going to have a harder time to differentiate himself as a candidate than anybody else possibly running. I think his chances of election are nil and it's unlikely he'll run at all if Clinton is in. They're too close on policy and he's too tightly tied to both Bill and Hill to be able to establish a candidacy unless he absolutely comes out swinging on Hillary and tries to run a "she's not qualified" campaign. (That would be a folly. I hate her guts, I think she's an evil human being and would be a national disaster if elected...but even I can't argue that she's not qualified to run on her credentials. Her positions might disqualify her, but those positions are also mostly Cuomo's.)
