Cuomo, Amid Moreland struggles, realizes he might lose.

[ABCin2014]

After his worst week in office since becoming governor, Andrew Cuomo is now viewed for the first time by important Democrats as potentially vulnerable to Republican challenger Rob Astorino, The Post has learned.

The changing sentiment results from the extraordinary criticisms Cuomo received last week from corruption-fighting Southern District US Attorney Preet Bharara — because of the governor’s summary dismissal of his anti-corruption Moreland Commission panel — and from an assortment of “good-government’’ over his transparently phony plan for a severely limited system of publicly financed elections.

“It was a disastrous week for Andrew. He was being attacked all over town, and it appeared to be the culmination of not just weeks, but months, of eroding support for the governor from within his own Democratic base,’’ one of the state’s most influential Democrats told The Post.

Dicker has it wrong. Many within Cuomo's base HOPE he loses.

1. Cuomo loses his mojo

Gov. Cuomo has veered sharply away from the reform and pro-business policies he followed during his first two years in office and is “adrift’’ on a course of murky proposals, frequent indecision, and political obsessions focused on re-election next year and the presidency in 2016, insiders have told The Post.

The insiders, some of whom have known Cuomo for decades, said the governor has become so obsessed with maintaining what until recently were record-high job-approval ratings that he has refused, for fear of alienating politically potent liberal voting blocs, to make tough decisions to cut costs for fiscally troubled local governments, reduce regulations to attract businesses, and approve hydrofracking for natural gas.

2. Is it too late for someone else to get in?

He's a sleaze.... and his reptilian charm is wearing off quick.

I think we'll lose the statehouse if he's the candidate.

3. If the rethugs get in say goodbye to the moratorium on fracking in NY

4. This whole thing in Albany is scary now.

5. Cuomo will end the moratorium anyway

Right after the November elections. He still thinks he can be President and he needs money from Wall Street and big business. The DOH won't issue a report until after the election, but you know that it will be one dictated by the Dark Prince's political ambitions, and not by what's best for New York.
