Crowley may win if he actually tries. He only lost to her because of the abysmal turnout, he’d never have lost that primary with a general election turnout. She got all of 16,000 votes.
I would imagine this will only increase her momentum as people will vote just to spite Crowley’s cranky-old-man move.
“She got all of 16,000 votes.”
If I recall, Joe Lieberman lost in the Democratic primary and went on to win back his seat as an independent. There is precedent, and, I suspect, all Casio will get in the main election is 16,000 votes.
The shifting demographics of that district actually work against Crowley. Yes, it was low turnout, don't think he'd have won with a higher turnout, however.
Doesn't really matter at this point. What's done is done. The only question now is: will Crowley be the candidate of the NYWFP and will he pull enough away from the self-avowed Democrat Socialist to cost her the race?
If anything this one should be fun to watch.
“Crowley may win if he actually tries...He only lost to her because of the abysmal turnout”
I wouldn’t put money on that, not in that district, given its demographics.
Things are different now, it’s a new world out there for Leftists, with her being the poster-boy of the party.
So, Crowley got caught napping.
Why would this chick expect him to just roll over for her?
I would think that he’ll mount his third party/independent bid and spank her but good in the general election.
He was next in line, behind Pelosi and Hoyer. If she thinks she is going to step into that spot she is sadly mistaken.
