Hamlet on the Hudson

Before the media fascination with Gov. Andrew Cuomo's (lack of) national ambition, it was his father who stirred up speculation about a White House run. In 1991, 32-year-old Terry Lynam was one of the staffers then-Gov. Mario Cuomo dispatched to New Hampshire to lay the groundwork for a presidential campaign that never came to fruition. This episode features Lynam talking about his experience in the field, the political atmosphere at the time and what could have happened if Mario ran.
