Governor Ed Koch?

If Ed Koch didn't disparage Upstate NY in that interview with Playboy(or just didn't have the interview),would he have been able to win the Governorship of New York over Cuomo?

Also,if he somehow had,how would his time as Governor be different from Cuomo's besides being more Conservative and would he have been considered a potentially strong candidate for President in 1988 or 1992?
 
He would have been the Governor of New York. If he was reelected in 1986. I could see him running for President in 1988. So we would have had a Jewish, single and rumored to be gay candidate,

How well do you think he'd do in the primaries? About as well as Cuomo would've been expected to have done or would he have failed to win any big contests?
