My History Can Beat Up Your Politics   /     NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT: Part Two - The Case of Mario Cuomo

Description

They called him the "Hamlet on the Hudson." What series on people not running for President in American history would be complete without the former governor of New York Mario Cuomo. He was famous for coming ever-so-close to running for President. And then, not running. In one case, he left a plane on a tarmac for reporters to watch for hours. Was it politics? Was it bad timing? Was it preference for state government? What about those mob ties [real or imagined] that were talked about? And was it, just maybe, a kind a weird psychological thing? We examine it all, in detail, on this episode. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
