WI Governor Teahchout

Zephyr Teachout did surprisingly well having decided late on to run for the Dem Nomination for Governor of New York.

What if she had got the nomination.

2014 was a bad year for Dems but this is New York
 
New York? Given the Republicans? She wins.

There would have to have been some massive Cuomo scandal for her to win.

Sure, look at his Republican buddies for down ballot elections. Have him caught up in that mess because duh he loves that corporate cash, a few bad breaks earlier than OTL, boom.

Given the Democratic party in this state, and the opportunity it would offer the Republicans, and she loses. Badly.
 
Teachout did not have any chance of claiming the Democratic nomination barring a major scandal against Cuomo, and there is no way Teachout would beat both Astornio and Cuomo on the Working Families ticket. I just don't think it was in the cards. At her best she might have managed to give Astornio an opening to actually be competitive with Cuomo, if not throw the election to him.
