In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton & Hydro-Fracking [View all]H2O Man
(73,537 posts)12. Thank you.
Before eventually making the correct decision, NY Governor Andrew Cuomo was "undecided" on if he would allow fracking in our state. I was among those who lobbied against fracking. Andrew often said that both sides "argued based upon emotion,not science." We delivered the science.
I was able to get a message to him, through a family member -- that we knew he was intent upon running for president in 2016, and that I assumed he was planning to appeal primarily to the Cheney-wing of the Democratic Party. I was told that he found that annoying.
For the record: I am not an advocate or supporter for his now "in limbo" desire to run in '16. If nothing else, I appreciate the fact that Ms. Clinton has ended that.
