NY Dem AG Candidates Debate Highlights

It was saucy – just like primary debates are supposed to be.

You can read the entire article here.

Some highlights to make you read the entire article (in case you haven't already clicked through):

Mark Green assailed Andrew Cuomo for not enforcing the law during his time as HUD Secretary under President Clinton which resulted in a lawsuit filed by none other than New York’s own Eliot Spitzer against the Federal government.  The case is ongoing, and Green contends that Cuomo would have to both prosecute and defend the case at the same time.

Candidates Charlie King and Sean Patrick Maloney criticized Green for his “negative” campaigning – for that matter so did Geraldine Ferraro and Comedian/political activist Randy Credico – must be a NYC thing. 

NY1 Reporter Rita Nissan got Cuomo to admit that he hasn’t prosecuted a case since 1984, and his defense was that Eliot Spitzer hadn’t spent an hour in a courtroom since 1998.  Solid response Andrew, real solid.

And in the interesting category, candidate Charlie King was the only candidate to “…say “yes” to whether Spitzer went too far in his Wall Street investigations, whether public employees should be able to strike and whether he's lived his life without a ever getting a speeding ticket.”

The lone Republican candidate is former prosecutor and judge Jeanine Pirro.
