The passage of same-gender marriage legislation and an on-time budget has many speculating if Governor Andrew Cuomo will make a run for the White House in 2016.
However, in a radio appearance Monday, the governor dismissed the rumors, saying he is only focused on his current job.
�I’m not going to engage in this conversation or fuel the speculation,� said Cuomo. �I have a very important job to do, we just started doing it, and I’m going to focus on this job.�
Cuomo said he’s hoping to build on his achievements which include an on-time budget and ethics reform.

He wants to be president for passing a morally repulsive bill. IF this is a standard that people in our country are looking for then we face the same fate as the Greek and Roman empires.
By definition, a governor from a large state (and while New York is slipping fast in the order of states, it is still a major state) is a potential nominee for president. But the next opening for a Democrat is in five years, and no one can predict that far into the future.
After signing the Toeiva bill into law, he has no future in national politics.
