When Eliot Spitzer, a crusading lawyer, became governor in 2007, his uncompromising ways caused political gridlock in Albany, the state capital. Just over a year later, he was caught frolicking with a prostitute and resigned. His successor, David Paterson, was affable enough, but too weak to push the state legislature to balance the books. When Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat like his predecessors, handily won the 2010 governor's race on a promise to "rebuild the government, restore competence, restore trust, [and] get the people of this state believing once again", New Yorkers gave a cynical snort. But Mr Cuomo has had an extraordinary year. In the first six months of his term he could point to three historic achievements. He learn much about Albany politics at the knee of his father, Mario, a former governor. He is clever and determined. His most noticeable flaw is his arrogance, which he has tried to keep in check, but which slipped out in November when he remarked: "I am the government."
