Ken Lovett at the Daily News opines:
“No one thinks Fordham Law School Prof. Zephyr Teachout will beat Gov. Cuomo in the Sept. 9 Democratic primary — but she could hurt him, experts said … If she gets 20% or more of the vote, it would show that a sizable amount of Cuomo’s own Democratic party has little enthusiasm for the governor, despite his success on gay marriage and tougher gun laws, Democratic operatives say …”
There’s zero enthusiasm for Cuomo now. Name one elected Democrat who is jumping up and down for his re-election?
Lovett inadvertently stumbles into the flaws with the gun control movement. First, it doesn’t motivate the Left like other issues due. Second, the astroturf nature of the antis make it impossible for them to impact elections. If Cuomo had done his homework he should have known this before pinning his political career on the issue.
