While he won the primary with just over 60%, Cuomo lost about 40% of what should be his natural base. In deep Blue New York State the Democrat governor couldnt win a resounding victory among the most devoted voters of his own party. A woman with the interesting name Zrphyr Teachout who had no money got about 34% of the vote and a guy named Randy Credico got 3.6% of the vote.
In the Lieutenant Governor primary, to pick Cuomos running mate, Kathy Hochul did about as well against a far Leftist college professor named Tim Wu. As if these numbers werent bad enough for Cuomo, Hochul has an A rating from the NRA something that might give some of the Empire States Leftist crazies all the excuse they need to stay home.
