This is a great one to bookmark. To all those on our side of the aisle who doubt Mitts ability or willingness to take it to his opponent, just reference this article. He BLASTS Andrew Cuomo! Much more than Jeb Bush was willing to do. Interestingly enough, it appears both Mitt AND Jeb have aligned against Chris Christie, who has apparently sided with Andrew Cuomo against the GOP challenger. Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential candidate and potential 2016 contender, rips Gov. Cuomo as “a typical corrupt New York politician’’ in a tough fund-raising letter being sent Monday by Rob Astorino’s campaign for governor. [Romney] accuses Cuomo of wasting millions of taxpayer dollars “to fund his ludicrous Start-Up New York campaign,’’ which, Romney contends, has done virtually nothing to improve the state’s business climate. “The unfortunate truth is New York has the highest taxes in America. The state has the worst economic outlook in the country, and since Gov. Cuomo took office, 400,000 people have relocated to states offering more opportunity,’’ says [Romney]. Earlier this month, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, another potential presidential contender, penned a fund-raising letter for Astorino, but it steered clear of a direct attack on Cuomo. The Romney and Bush letters are being seen in GOP circles as indirect shots at the presidential aspirations of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who, despite being chairman of the Republican Governors Association, has appeared to be a Cuomo ally by refusing to help raise funds for Astorino. “At this point, we’ve marked Christie off as a lost cause,’’ O’Reilly said.
