Weiner Wins Few Supporters for Mayoral Candidacy
"Shame on us," says Gov. Cuomo, contemplating a Weiner victory
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said "shame on us" when asked about the possibility of Anthony Weiner being elected mayor, while Rep. Charles Rangel predicted defeat for the disgraced former congressman.
Cuomo told the Syracuse Media Group on Wednesday, "Shame on us," when asked what would happen should Weiner be elected mayor.
The exchange occurred at an editorial board meeting in which the governor was asked about other New York's political issues.
Meanwhile, Rangel said on Thursday that he doesn't think Weiner has a shot.
