79. If Clinton and Biden stay out, the party establishment will back Cuomo.

He'll have advantages in name recognition, money, support of elected Democrats, and media treatment.

The first question will be: Who will carry the progressive standard against the neoliberal Cuomo? It might be Warren but there are some other possibilities.

We don't have winner-take-all primaries, so Cuomo would face a harder road than did Romney in 2012 (each of them being the establishment candidate that much of the base considers too centriest). We could survive some splitting of the vote among some combination of Sherrod Brown, Martin O'Malley, Elizabeth Warren, Sheldon Whitehouse, and probably a few more I could add if I weren't tired. (I don't think Alan Grayson would be in the mix. He's a superb firebrand but a firebrand type makes too many voters uneasy when they contemplate the heavy responsibilities of the Presidency.)

Nevertheless, I gloomily predict that if Biden and Clinton both opt out, Cuomo will be the nominee.
