A five point margin of victory for a blue state governor is better than a 20 point margin of victory.

Cuomo was too centrist. If we want to make progress, the ideal margin of victory is between about 5 and 10. Any better and we've got someone who too many Republicans like. We've got a solid legislative majority. The ideal situation is a governor and a statehouse willing to consistently crush Republicans, hopefully enough so that people who live in red districts consider voting blue in order to win favor and investment from the state.
