Quote:ALBANY, N.Y. – Gov. Andrew Cuomo cruised to a win Thursday in the Democratic primary for New York governor, easily warding off a challenge from actor and activist Cynthia Nixon as she tried to position herself as a more-progressive alternative.

Cuomo, an incumbent in his second term, had 65 percent of the vote to Nixon's 35 percent with 85 percent of the districts reporting

The Associated Press called the race for Cuomo at around 9:30 p.m. EDT, a half-hour after polls closed.

Cuomo’s big victory allows him to continue his bid for a third term and sets up a November battle with Marc Molinaro, the Republican nominee for governor.

lunatic beats bigger lunatic

Good. I can deal with Cuomo as Governor of New York State. I can't deal with a lunatic like Cynthia Nixon.

Curious to see if Nixon continues campaigning — she is on the November ballot as the nominee of the Working Families Party. She wouldn’t actually get elected Governor, of course, but some good reasons (from a left-wing viewpoint) to do it anyway. Some good reasons not to, as well. It’s a complicated decision and Nixon/WFP will have to sort that out.

GOP has a good candidate but NY is just too Blue for them to have a chance.

The ginger lesbian is scary.

I listened to Joe Rogan’s podcast when he had Larry Sharpe in a couple weeks ago. Sharpe is running as a Libertarian and is polling second. He has some great ideas. It’s a good 3 hour listen if you have the time. If Nixon stays in and siphons off some Cuomo votes and the moderates vote L then he might pull it off. NY is a plurality state where you don’t have to have 50% to win.

Cuomo is a toxic force, both within NY State and nationwide, but he’s got this one in the bag. Anything else is make-believe.

And the not all the way in left field leftist sigh a bit of relief....

She was hot twenty years ago. Now, she just looks crazy. (And apparently, she's officially "bisexual", according to her Wikipedia page. Nah. She's a lesbian.)

But anyway, yeah. She makes Cuomo look like Paul Ryan by comparison.

As hard as this seems I also couldn't imagine this crazed, UberProgressive being governor. Crumbo is bad enough but amazingly he's still not that far gone for a Communist. At least there's a Republican running against him. Let's hope the people of NY wake up this time and vote a Rep into office.

I would've have had to pound and plead a 'fif' to tap that putt in....then it's 'coyote chainsaw' in the morn'

I can't help myself at times....
