#1 ...One thing to keep in mind though that is that Governor-designate Hochul is the first upstate politician in decades to even get close to the Governor's Mansion. She's not as beholden to the Big Apple as others have been, and that will make for some interesting dynamics - look for one side or the other to lay down some markers hard and fast.

#2 On her public bio, she recounts how her mother and father once lived in a trailer on the grounds of the steel plant where her father worked in Buffalo.

...Their kids are in their early 30s. Katie, or Caitlin, works for PR firm Concepts Inc whose past clients include The Gates Foundation and the Justice Department. Her son, William Hochul III, is a DC lawyer.

Tells me everything I need to know.

#3 Hochul won her first major elected role in a 2011 special election to replace Rep. Chris Lee, her married male colleague who was caught soliciting women for sex on Craigslist.

There seems to be a pattern in NY politics. Maybe, it's that everyone is being screwed but some cases are especially egregious so that they get noticed.

#4 ^No. It's that some of the Nomenclature need to be replaced and "sexual misbehavior" (which is abased on how female "victim" feels - not any objective criteria) can be used on any hetero male.

Do notice that Cuomo escaped investigation into 10,000+ wrongful deaths (or whatever the lawyer lingo is).

#5 /\ (which is abased on how female "victim" feels - not any objective criteria)

"Feelings" not limited to the four-dimensional continuum (time & space, etc, etc). Simply put.... shi* changes with these people.

Prevention: Remain professional, avoid private encounters at all costs. Limit discussion to the business at hand. Break both conversation and eye contact as quickly as possible.

#6 ..or as Vice President Pence said, leave the doors open and have a 'chaperon' in the room. Of course, Biden is still known to do that crap in public and still gets away with it.

#7 The rule is, whatever you got, there's worse around the bend...
