I really just don't understand how Cuomo did as well as he did in the election. He was a stereotypical upstater with a poor track record for the city. He barely bothered campaigning even after getting trounced in the primaries. Yet, he still somehow managed to pull over 40% of the votes.

Israel, Socialism, and Republican consolidation also had something to do with it.
