NEW YORK - FEBRUARY 24: New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo gives a press conference about recalled Toyota cars February 24, 2010 in New York City. Cuomo, thought to be a possible candidate for New York governor, has reached an agreement with the car company to provide Toyota owners in New York with alternative transportation and other perks in the aftermath of the massive recall of Toyota automobiles.

Andrew Cuomo’s presidential ambitions have been a constant source of speculation since he was elected in 2010, but now several Democratic activists in early primary states tell Politico it’s already too late for the New York governor to run. While other potential candidates have been speaking, networking, and fundraising across the nation, Cuomo has avoided the national stage (possibly because he insists he isn’t running) and with only 1,065 days until the 2016 election, he doesn’t have time to make those connections. At the end, Cuomo’s 2016 campaign regretted spending so much time doing its job, rather than enjoying all the ridiculous speculation political life has to offer.
