Why No Love for Andrew?

In the real world where results matter, Andrew Cuomo is at worst a liberal. Make a checklist of legislation and action you want taken, and he's there. Marriage equality, gun control, and now, the minimum wage:

Gov. Andrew Cuomo today called for the state’s minimum wage to jump to $10.50 an hour and the city’s minimum wage to rise a dollar higher, thrilling progressives who long pushed the governor to hike wages in the city and state.

Mr. Cuomo announced he would include the plan in the state’s budget proposal, which he will unveil on Wednesday. The Democratic governor is likely to face opposition from Republicans who control the State Senate.

“We raised the minimum wage last year and we’re now in the midst of a minimum wage phase in schedule, and I’m proud that we raised the minimum wage,” Mr. Cuomo said. adding that the base wage should rise by the end of 2016. “But the wage gap is continuing to grow.”

I know, I know, he hasn't called for bringing the guillotine down to Wall Street, but he's their governor too. I wonder if this gains him any favor with liberals.
