Danny Hakim reports: “Mario M. Cuomo never ran for president, but he seems to be warming to the idea that his son might. One recent Saturday, Mr. Cuomo, the former governor, showed up at his former residence, the Executive Mansion, and broached the unbroachable: before a crowd of about 100 relatives, friends and advisers gathered to mark his 80th birthday, he called his son, Andrew M. Cuomo, ‘the best governor in modern times,’ and, according to several of those present, mused at length that the younger Mr. Cuomo might someday ‘have an opportunity to serve at a higher level, to serve the people of the United States.’ “
