Cuomo did announce prior that he'd be running on that ticket if his try and the Democratic ticket failed. Wonder if Clinton will be switching his endorsement, or will he be content to let Cuomo keep it when he runs ~~Third Way~~ third party?

Cuomo has always been one to play political chess 20 moves ahead of the next guy, so in what some might call an attempt to checkmate his opponents, he's forming the "Fight and Deliver Party" so he can be on the ballot whether or not he wins the Democratic primary.

"That's why I qualified for an independent line in November, I did that several months ago, because in the general election, more people come out to vote. It's a broader pool, if you will, of New Yorkers, more representative pool of New Yorkers."

Cuomo previously announced he would run on both the Democratic and independent tickets so he could be on the ballot for the November general election, whether he won the primary or not.
