Description | In an interview with NY1, Rep. Charles Rangel warns state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo not to challenge Gov. David Paterson in a Democratic primary next year, saying it could create "racial polarization" in the state and be "devastating" to New York Democrats.
"You cannot support the governor, prepare for re-election, and at the same time say that you're keeping your options open for a primary," Rangel said of Cuomo.
"I think that there might be an inclination for racial polarization in a primary in the state of New York," Rangel told political reporter Michael Scotto. "And since we have most African-Americans registered as Democrats, and since you would be making an appeal for Democrats, it would be devastating in my opinion." |
