Are NY Democrats united behind their Governor?

Via Instapundit“You look at me, Mr. Governor, but you don’t see me. You see my black skin and a woman, but you don’t realize I am a suburban legislator,” Ms. Stewart-Cousins said, according to the accounts of five people who were in the room. “Jeff Klein doesn’t represent the suburbs,” she said. “I do.”

Mr. Cuomo reacted in stunned silence.

The pointed exchange, which has not previously been reported, captures the raw tensions around the fractured Democratic coalition in Albany that threaten to dog Mr. Cuomo as he looks to his 2018 re-election, and possibly beyond.

Why didn't Cuomo tell the black female to pound sand? Because NO ONE in our cowed society tells a black female to pound sand no matter what she brays.

For a while, it looked as if Andy would be the Ozark Mafia's stalking horse in '16.

Realistically, I'd say his time is past and this issue would tend to vindicate that.

OTOH, Dems have been viewing blacks only in the context of their race since ... forever, unable to see outside the checked box. It's fun to watch realization dawn on them all.

To answer to the question: No. NY Democrats are not united behind their Governor.
