From The Press Republican:
The most active campaign for statewide office this year doesn’t have any candidates yet and may not even have an incumbent.
This is the odd world of the race for New York attorney general, in which at least a half-dozen lawyers and prosecutors are considering a run — but only if popular Attorney General Andrew Cuomo runs for governor. The once almost-anonymous job has transformed over the past 15 years into a high-profile role as the chief enforcer on Wall Street and in corporate America’s boardrooms.
The headline-grabbing post has become known by its initials, AG, sometimes derisively said to stand for “Aspiring Governor.” It may also soon produce New York’s second consecutive elected governor.
