Is there any erratic populist Italian American centimillionaire from upstate New York running for governor this time?

Christie rejected Astorino's play for more money.

Because, like I said, with Democrats like Cuomo, who needs Republicans?

I somehow think it has more to do with the fact Christie realizes Astorino doesn't have a shot in hell.

[free my dawg]

Of course. Just saying.

Yes but you see...it's not the GOVERNOR'S race that's bringing Christie here

Using centimillionare to mean having $100 million is confusing. It should be hectomillionare.

Does anyone really think he'd be there if Havenstein was running for Governor of Vermont and faced the same odds.

Obviously but it's still a blatant and laugh-worthy contradiction.

In other news, the NYT did a piece on Cuomo's corruption commission, which turned out (unsurprisingly) to be a fraud itself...

"I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart. You broke my heart!"

Is Cuomo even endorsing these guys?

He hasn't endorsed yet. Also worth noting that the "Working Families" Party has backed away from Liu/Koppell too.

As far as I'm concerned, de Blasio is a Republican now too. He can be Bernie f***ing Sanders for the rest of his term - if you support Jeff Klein or Tony Avella, you have no place in the Democratic Party.

I wouldn't worry too much about DeBlasio no longer being the great hope of liberals over this. He's clearly supporting them as part of a deal to make the state senate Democratic and help redistricting. Later he can tell them to pound salt when there's a solid majority in the senate.

Are Klein or Avella in any serious danger of a primary anyway?

Klein is looking in pretty good shape thanks to the WF party and some unions lacking any semblance of a backbone.  Avella could very well be toast though

Steve Israel endorses Tony Avella (R-Queens) over Liu. You all know my feelings on this.

Avella is looking to be in worse shape than Klein. Liu has the support of local leaders like Joe Crowley and Grace Meng and is trouncing Avella in fundraising, while Klein doesn't seem to be facing as much flack from Koppell.

[King of Kensington]

Is Cuomo's pre-K plan more watered down than what de Blasio was proposing?

[Maxwell]

Isn't Liu corrupt?

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Isn't Liu corrupt?

No, but his campaign treasurer was.

Certainly a long shot, but given the recent corruption questions surrounding Cuomo, is it possible that Teachout could have a better-than-expected showing in the primary?  I'm not suggesting she wins, I think that would require an upset even greater than Cantor's loss, but what if she gets around 40% of the vote, that would be very significant, I would imagine, in the GE, but I suppose Teachout voters would never back the Republican...

Actually given Cuomo's ethics issues, I wouldn't be surprised if Teachout won... The problem is she wouldn't beat Astorino in a General election.

Really?? Is there even any polling?
