Attorney General Andrew Cuomo delayed the announcement of his candidacy for Governor yesterday, but that doesn't mean he isn't planning long-term...maybe even further than Governor-in-waiting: in a feature piece on Cuomo in next month's Esquire , Hank Sheinkopf, longtime New York political consultant and Democratic strategist, says he's got presidential ambitions: "If elected governor, the expectation level will be extremely high. The expectation level for Spitzer was very high, and he couldn't meet it, so Spitzer destroyed himself. Andrew Cuomo's not going to destroy himself. Andrew Cuomo wants to be president of the United States. Yes, an Italian American. Why not? It's about time."
