And now, a moment of pre-election levity.

Democratic gubernatorial frontrunner Andrew Cuomo was in an unusually giddy mood today, perhaps due to a combination of his wide lead in the polls, ability to finally see the finish line in what has been an (at times) arduous race and lack of sleep.

After a GOTV rally at the Albany Labor Temple with Sen. Eric Schneiderman and Rep. Paul Tonko, the AG joked around with reporters, playfully grabbing the mic from CapTon’s Kaitlyn Ross and sticking it in DN Capitol Bureau Chief Ken Lovett’s face. The following exchanged ensued:

Lovett: “I don’t know what you’re implying.”

Cuomo: “I just wanted to be on the other side for a change. Answer the question! Answer the question! Do you refuse to answer?”
