The New York Times reports New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), who is mulling a presidential bid in 2016, and his inner circle have their eyes fixed on Hillary Clinton, "whose already sky-high stature among Democratic activists was enhanced by her husband's crowd-pleasing speech this month at the party's convention in Charlotte, N.C., and who can count on broad support if she decides to run."

"Mrs. Clinton complicates Mr. Cuomo's ambitions in several ways. Despite the fact that she hails from Illinois, she is now viewed as a New Yorker and commands deep loyalty from the state's Democratic establishment. And Mr. Cuomo, 54, reveres her husband, former President Bill Clinton; he views Mr. Clinton as a mentor who helped him begin a career in politics, according to Cuomo friends and associates."

One Democrat close to Cuomo said "the situation was making the Cuomo camp cranky, in part because the governor, a skilled strategic thinker, did not like to be captive to others' ambitions."
