Statement by Attorney General Andrew Cuomo

"Today's Senate passage of my e-STOP legislation draws new protections against sexual predators on the Internet closer to reality. I am encouraged by the overwhelming support this vitally important bill is building. Just today, the five New York City District Attorneys endorsed the bill. I am looking forward to the Assembly voting on the measure at the earliest opportunity so the Governor can sign it into law. With this bill, New York's children will have the most comprehensive protections against sexual predators on the Internet in the nation."

Barack Obama's Broom

Barack Obama’s broom has been busy lately. It has been sweeping caucuses and cleaning up primaries. It hasn’t surprised me one bit, as I have been telling you guys for a while now: you are watching history unfold, folks. Okay: so I like to rub the noses of my detractors into the groundings of my political predictions come true; live with it; get over it.

Last week I told you guys that Obama could sweep the seven upcoming races (including Maine-which everyone and his brother thought Billary would win). I said the worst he could do was win five of seven. I also said that Billary’s best shot for an upset was in Maryland; well take Maryland off the table now. I didn’t even consider The Virgin islands worthy of discussion, since there were only three delegates at stake: but then that was already in the Obama win column. Tonight, I expect Barack Obama’s broom to sweep through the District of Columbia, Virginia and Maryland. Billary will be cleaning up late tonight folks. Start calling her the “clean-up woman”; she will be doing a lot of cleaning up after Obama keeps winning. By tonight he would have won about two dozen caucuses and primaries; this is rally impressive folks: it is time to admit that you Clintonistas.
