Friday on the Capitol Pressroom, an Andrew Cuomo riff on what he called a "schism" in the Republican Party included this statement: "Are they these extreme conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay? Is that who they are? Because if that's who they are and they're the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York, because that's not who New Yorkers are." Republicans -- and Fred Dicker -- jumped on the statement, expressing outrage. The Cuomo admin released a letter Monday in response to the uproar: "The Governor was making the point that he makes often: New York is a politically moderate state and an extremist agenda is not politically viable statewide."
