WELL, THAT'S NOT HELPFUL:
TOP DEMS BACK OFF ALITO (DEBORAH ORIN and FREDRIC U. DICKER, November 2, 2005, NY Post)
[A] top Italian-American Democrat, former Gov. Mario Cuomo, warned fellow Democrats against trying to paint Alito as soft on the Mafia, as the Democratic National Committee did in unsigned talking points."I hope, as a Democrat, that was put out just out of clumsiness," Cuomo told The Post, meaning the DNC claim that a top reason to oppose Alito is that, as U.S. attorney, he lost a mob case 20 years ago.

Of course, in 1982, he beat Ed Koch in the primary with the unofficial slogan "Vote for Cuomo, not the homo", which he never denounced.
