Looking Out for No. 2
(4 of 4)
If recent history is a guide, Cuomo is a darker horse than the others. Spiro Agnew was the only sitting Governor nominated for Vice President by either party during the past generation, and every winning ticket since 1952, Republican or Democratic, has included a Southern or Western candidate. The safe, conventional choices are plain. But with a popular incumbent in the White House, this might be just the year to make a jolting break with custom.
