The competition is still on-and alive. At the recent Columbus Day parade, both candidates avoided each other. It's no wonder then that Cuomo, with all of his advertisements, promises, and agreed-on future debates secured him a 51% to 31% lead over Astorino. Cuomo, although wary of the proposed debate on the radio and television, gladly accepted them in hopes of ensuring his re-election. He also hopes on stressing the Women's Equality Party that he created, pushing for more sexual assault policy reform on SUNY campuses. However, his recent plans to go to the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico have people questioning why; not only because he is a stay-at-home governor, but also because of, as Astorino was quick to point out, Cuomo's "refusal to debate offers by major Spanish language TV networks" (10). Overall, I think this article, while it does point to Cuomo as the obvious leader, still reflects some important points Astorino makes if Cuomo is to be as successful as a governor as he says he will be.
