MANHATTAN — On Tuesday morning, New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo sent out an e-mail to supporters of his 2010 campaign letting them know how flush the campaign had become.
Notably absent from the note — as recipients have come to expect — was any specification of what office Cuomo is campaigning for.
"I am happy to report that our campaign raised $6.8 million dollars in the last six months, and now has over $16 million dollars in the bank!" Cuomo wrote in the letter.
"It's your support that allows us to fight for all New Yorkers and continue our efforts to restore honest government in Albany."
"It's your support that allows us to fight for all New Yorkers and continue our efforts to restore honest government in Albany."
That's a lot of campaign money for a popular incumbent. During his first election for attorney general, Cuomo raised a total on $11.5 millon.
On Monday Cuomo stuck firmly to his line that he's running for re-election as attorney general in 2010 — for now, anyway.
"Right now I'm serving as attorney general, right now, I'm running for re-election as attorney general," Cuomo said after speaking at Rev. Al Sharpton's Martin Luther King Day Celebration in Harlem, where Gov. David Paterson took to the stage shortly after Cuomo's departure.
