There’s a lot going on in this Post article<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Louisiana\u2019s Bobby Jindal<\/a> has become the first Republican governor to defy Chris Christie<\/a> by helping cash-strapped Rob Astorino<\/a> raise funds to challenge Gov. Cuomo, The Post has learned. Jindal, like New Jersey\u2019s Christie a potential presidential candidate in 2016, agreed last week to host a big-ticket fund-raiser for Westchester County Executive Astorino in Manhattan on Oct. 16 … \u201cGov. Jindal believes this race is winnable by Rob, and he wants to come in, and he\u2019ll be doing the fund-raising event for us,\u2019\u2019 Astorino spokeswoman Jessica Proud<\/a> told The Post … Among GOP governors planning to campaign \u2014 and raise funds \u2014 on Astorino\u2019s behalf are Mike Pence<\/a> of Indiana, Rick Perry<\/a> of Texas, and Scott Walker<\/a> of Wisconsin, who has already held one fund-raiser for Astorino, officials said.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Good.\u00a0 Help Rob and diminish Christie for ’16.<\/p>\n

“… Republicans were in open rebellion at a recent state committee meeting in Syracuse when Tom Dunham, chief political operative to Senate GOP leader<\/a> and Cuomo<\/a> ally Dean Skelos<\/a>, refused to commit to helping Astorino\u2019s campaign …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s because Skelos and most of the Senate Republicans have given their defacto endorsement to Gov. Cuomo.\u00a0 They are his biggest cheerleaders, not Democrats.<\/p>\n
