1. Thanks for posting this.

Cuomo is a child.

2. A bratty child at that ...

Haven't heard more on this yet ... I've been out.

Why is he so afraid of a primary challenger?

I'm sure it has nothing to do with his (corporate) policies and (corrupt) actions .........

3. I think he worries that while he wins the primary many of her voters will vote third party or

stay home.

4. Teachout Survives A Second Court Challenge

http://www.nystateofpolitics.com/2014/08/teachout-survives-a-second-court-challenge/


A four-judge panel ruled on Wednesday that Fordham Law professor Zephyr Teachout’s insurgent primary campaign against Gov. Andrew Cuomo can continue, marking the second rejection by the governor’s re-election campaign to knock her off the ballot.

The ruling, issued this afternoon, tossed aside the challenge to Teachout’s residency, which Cuomo lawyer Martin Connor has argued does not meet the state’s five-year residency requirement.

(snip)

The effort to knock Teachout off the ballot has dwindling legal options: Because the appeals court was unanimous in its decision, the state’s highest court, the Court of Appeals, doesn’t have to automatically agree to take the case.

(snip)

Updated: Cuomo campaign spokesman Peter Kauffmann said there are no plans to appeal today’s ruling, guaranteeing Teachout will remain on the ballot for next month’s Sept. 9 primary.

Let the games begin!!!!
