I've changed my voter enrollment and am no longer a registered Democrat. I will not be a member of a political party that would have Cuomo as it's purported leader within my state. I hope the Republicans are smart enough to run a legitimate moderate against Cuomo so I have someone to vote for aside from Paladino or Trump (though either one would be really fun to watch). Even a moderate would be to the left of Cuomo.
