Hands-on executive

A front-page article in the New York Times today details how Roman Catholic governor Andrew Cuomo pushed the same-sex marriage bill through the New York legislature.  Cuomo was involved from the very beginning, working with Republican party donors, gay rights activists, and individual legislators to garner support for the bill. 
What a concept. A chief executive taking a hands-on approach on a bill he thinks is important and getting it through a legislature initially opposed to his efforts.  Amazing.
