That was expected. Despite actually trying really hard she ends doing no better that the absurdly named Zephyr Teachout did 4 years ago. She was a disaster as a candidate, she’s better actress, that’s how bad she was!! Progtards are sad.
Nixon’s LT running mate, a “Charismatic” Black progtard from NYC lost to the incumbent by a much narrower margin, that’s good news I’d say, we don’t need that sort being successful.
Teachout lost the AG primary to the establishment choice. Congressman Maloney came in a poor third. A shame he was allowed to run for both AG and Congress.
One hopes Nixon does the right thing and stays on the Ballot as the Working Families nominee.
Zephyr was a Howard Dean 2004 staffer, who used to blog interesting essays

So left, it is bizarro
Her middle name is Rain
You do know that you are not required to read them, don’t you?
It is still a free country.
It’s the city. Or cities. Those who want gimme gimme gimme free stuff.
The cities are wannabe communists. I kind Of hoped Nixon would win. Then the republican candidate might have a chance. I am ready to move out of this POS state.
I would be shocked if Nixon didn’t stay on the ballot as the Working Families nominee. Why would she do Cuomo any favors by moving out of state or accepting a different nomination, which is what would be required for her to be taken off the ballot? But, unfortunately, having her name on the ballot may not be enough to peel off enough votes from Cuomo to give the election to GOP nominee Marc Molinaro; we need for Nixon to campaign and to keep attacking Cuomo.
In the RAT AG race, I don’t think that Letitia James could have defeated the absurdly named Zephyr Teachout had Congressman Sean Maloney not run. James won by a big margin in metro NYC, but was a non-factor Upstate, and Teachout would have racked up much higher vote margins Upstate without Maloney getting like 40% of the Upstate vote. If a “fag hag” is a heterosexual woman who does favors for homosexual men, what’s the term for the opposite, a homosexual man who helps out a straight woman? Maybe they should be called “Maloneys.”
In the Democrat state senate primaries, a bunch of moonbats unseated Democrat incumbents that previously had entered into a power-sharing arrangement with Republican senators. I think that only one of those wins could help the GOP pick up a senate seat: Rachel May’s upset victory over moderate Democrat Dave Valesky. https://cnycentral.com/news/local/in-stunning-upset-rachel-may-defeats-dave-valesky-in-state-senate-democratic-primary Valesky represents the GOP-leaning 53rd district in Madison County and parts of Oneida and Onondaga (including the eastern part of Syracuse). https://www.nysenate.gov/district/53 Economist and former Syracuse GOP chairman Janet Burman is the GOP and Conservative Party nominee, and if she can raise some money and campaign hard she can win this election. May is far too liberal for the district and, even more importantly, Valesky remains on the ballot as the nominee of the Independence Party. It would be sweet revenge for Republicans, given that Valesky was first elected with a narrow plurality over a GOP incumbent in 2004 because the Conservative Party nominee (who had lost the GOP primary) got 11% of the vote in the general.
There are two other NY state senate districts that are eminently winnable for the GOP, both in Long Island:
SD-08 (Nassau and Suffolk Counties), represented by freshman RAT John Brooks, who “won” by 257 votes after GOP incumbent Michael Venditto faced bad publicity from his father’s arrest for corruption.
SD-09 (Nassau County), represented by freshman RAT Todd Kaminsky, who narrowly “won” an April 2016 special election following GOP leader Dean Skelos’s expulsion from the senate after his federal conviction for corruption, and who won the regular general that November by 5%.
Currently, there are 31 Republicans, 1 Democrat that caucuses with the GOP (the conservative Simcha Felder, from the heavily Orthodox Jewish state senate district in Brooklyn) and 31 Democrats in the NY state senate. If the GOP can pick up one or more of the three winnable state senate seats, it would ward against the possible loss of control of the state senate due to losses in seats in which the GOP incumbent retired.
This is a privately owned entity, and the FR management is trying to keep it an informative, news-based forum. I seriously doubt they want every member posting almost daily database-filling threads based on some idiotic personal thought that wafted through their head with no real news source to back it up.
DU has already cornered that market.
The “far left” pretty much lost all the statewide races, as the Democrat establishment got their candidates nominated.
She’s still on the ballot, on the Working Families Party.
It looks that way. Among others, that crazy Salazar woman defeated an incumbent (and relatively “moderate) State Senator.
She can accept a nomination for another office, but that will entail moving someone else out of that slot by the same mechanism.
Go to her website. Urge her to stay on teh ballot for governor.
Either way, NYS taxpayers are still screwed.
She needs to be able to mount a credible campaign on the Working Families line. The more votes she gets, the fewer Cuomo gets.
Oh. Is she running on that party line. I had no idea.
That could be good. If she isn’t ‘convinced ‘ to drop out to prevent Molinaro from winning. Cuomo is a slime. Not as artful as the Clintons,but still a slime.
If she were to drop out, then it’s time to build up both the Green Party nominee, Howie Hawkins, and the Serve America Movement candidate, former Democrat mayor of Syracuse Stephanie Miner.
You’re right I should have said “I hope she stays in the race” cause just being on the ballot and not campaigning probably won’t hurt Cuomo enough to give us a chance.
Here’s why I thought the WF Party (Union Thugs) might “encourage” her to get off the ballot, ballot access. They need their nominee to get 50K votes for Governor or they lose it.
Cuomo was the Liberal party nominee in 2002, I believe he quit before the Dem primary which he was gonna lose anyway. But he stayed the Liberal nominee and didn’t come close to 50K and Liberal party lost it’s ballot access and that basically ended them as a political force in the state. Last I heard of them was they gave their ballot line to Bob Turner in that special election he won, making him a rare Liberal/Conservative nominee, their reason was Turner’s support of Israel, I guess whomever is left in that party likes Israel.
An article says WF had a plan in place to run Nixon for Assembly, with their Assembly candidate running for Judge. However I forgot that all the pro-Cuomo unions pulled out when they endorsed Nixon and now hard core Stalinists who hate Cuomo are in change and they seem reluctant to support him. So they may instead encourage her to stay in the race, at least to the extent of clearing 50K votes, even if she doesn’t campaign one would figure there should be enough protest votes but who knows.
Either way, their priority is making sure they get that 50K.
Gosh darn I have a lot of trouble spelling Cuomo.
I wish the GOP in Alaska was as successful as the NY rats at defeating “coalition” apostates. The NY rats lost even after ending the arrangement months before the election.
I was glad to see Felder (also GOP and conservative nominee and defacto a Republican like that guy in Washington State, Tim Sheldon) won his rat primary easily.
They were apparently going to move her to being a nominee for an Assembly seat, but several activists revolted. Now she’s staying on the line.
Will she campaign actively? Who knows? As you pointed out, they need her to be at least active enough to get the 50,000 votes needed to stay on the ballot. The Liberal Party lost its line this way in 2002.
Especially since the Green Party has its own nominee and something called the Serve America Movement petitioned its way onto the ballot with the (female) former Democrat mayor of Syracuse as its gubernatorial candidate.
(Oddly, the Conservative Party’s very first gubernatorial candidate, David Jaquith, was an obscure politician from Syracuse.)

Yes, I remember when Cuomo lost the gubernatorial primary to McCall but stayed on the Liberal Party line (instead of begging off the ballot through a judicial race) and didn’t campaign, thus killing off the Liberal Party when it didn’t get 50,000 votes. I didn’t know that the Liberal Party had been active in the early 2010s, much less that it had endorsed Bob Turner; but I’m not surprised that the last vestiges of the party were pro-Israel, given that the Liberal Party always had been heavily Jewish, and, in fact, was founded to provide Jewish garment workers with a way to vote for FDR without having to vote for the party of Tammany Hall.
Is there any chance - even a longshot chance - that we can dump NYC? Rob Astorino won in UPSTATE NY last time. They say we need NYC for financial reasons, but to that I say a conservative governor would give us lower taxes. Plus, NYC can keep it’s $$, and UPSTATE can keep it’s conservative principles.
My apologies to the conservatives who live in NYC, including my in-laws.
