NY GOV: Actress Cynthia Nixon may primary Gov. Cuomo

[Rjjr77]

Exactly what are her qualifications to be Governor? Not legal requirements, qualifications. Being a Governor of any state is not a job for a novice. This is such a joke.

Granholm the model is still the best Michigan's had in ages.

Also Der Sperminator, The People's Park Butcher, and Murphy in the Senate weren't jokes and the whole system still suffers because of them. Yet for some bizarre reason, one of these guys became President, and one of them got re-elected in a landslide...in a wave going the other way.

People in MI sure don't agree

[Chief Justice Keef]

Is this really what the world has come to where celebrities are going to be credible political candidates. I don't mind some celebrities who have spent there careers involved in politics like many comedians such as Al Franken but I just don't like it when anybody just runs for a major office with no real qualifications.

I don't care about "qualifications" or whatever title somebody has next to their name. I care if that person's gonna stand up for working people, something Cuomo hasn't done.

Jumaane Williams may be considering a primary challenge as well.

James Buchanan clearly had way more qualifications to be President than Abe Lincoln.

We're through the looking glass, folks

Endorsed. He probably won't run, but endorsed anyway.

I don't think people realize the degree to which office holders rely on their staffs. Many "qualified" pols aren't that bright.

If Cuomo loses Long Island, Staten Island, Brooklyn and Queens, it's over.

[Pollster]

With all of this renewed interest in a challenge to Cuomo, it would be great to see some solid polling data. I would guess Cuomo still has a lead but that there is a path for a challenger.

If Jumaane wins the primary he'll almost certainly win the general...and then he becomes an early contender for 2020. I could see him as an heir to Bernie.
