Andrew Cuomo Drops Out of NY Governor Race

TalkLeft is interested in this race because of Pataki's empty promise to revise the draconian Rockefeller mandatory minimum drug laws in that state.
Cuomo did a noble deed by dropping out once he assessed he would not win without launching an acrimonious campaign against McCall, the likely outcome of which would have been Pataki's reelection in November.
