New York Governor Race Already Ridiculously Negative

I shouldn't be surprised; this is, after all, a coveted position in Albany. I should have expected the candidates to turn to low-brow tactics that assume the voter is an idiot and will only pay attention to photoshopped images of their opponent, be him in the shower or with a pig body eating at the "public trough." Maybe I did expect it, just not at this early stage in the general election campaigning.

Cuomo Calls Al Sharpton To Apologize for Picking His Own Running Mate

We already know that the next governor of New York will be former governor Mario Cuomo's son Andrew, the current Attorney General of the state.  Now we also know that the next Lieutenant Governor will be current Rochester mayor Robert Duffy.  Also, inevitably, the state comptroller will remain Thomas DiNapoli.  So what's the common denominator between these candidates that Al Sharpton has issues with?  They're all white.
