“Poor Sandy. She should share the power. It’s the Collectivist thing to do”

Good point. If she is a true egalitarian she would split her campaign cash equally among all the candidates.

AOC’s boyfriend: “OUCHHHH!!!!! Man! Damn Sandy, we have had this conversation...no freakin’ teeth okay? What? No, I don’t give a rip how big they are! Deal with it! Now get back at it woman!”

No question, but Brooklyn where she’s from is extremely difficult as you can imagine for Republicans, but I hear they have 1-2 really good ones running against AOC

How does AOC have $5 million in the bank when just 2 years ago she was pouring drinks for tips and bitching about how she can’t afford anything like an apartment in DC? Her salary isn’t even $200k

Soros.

Occasional Cortex will win her primary because she has so many challengers.

Michelle Caruso-Cabrera sounds decent; she holds some conservative positions, from what I’ve been reading.

I hope both of them are on the November ballot, along with at least one other leftist.

Hopefully, one of the other challengers gets another party’s line. Remember, New York has fusion and 8 ballot-qualified parties. If the Independence Party or teh Serve America Movement (SAM) Party would cross-endorse one of Occasional Cortex’s liberal-to-left challengers, it might help pave the way for a moderately conservative candidate to win.

She will still get the much larger Liberal line, unless she stepped on the wrong toes, which is entirely possible. Remember Jacob Javits (lefty Republican ran on the Liberal Line to deny Liz Holtzman a Senate Seat, allowing Al D’Amato to be the most conservative NY Senator since James Buckley)

Yeah buddy.

AOC has crazy girl eyes. You know, she might stab you in the back eyes.

The Liberal Party hasn’t been ballot-qualified since 2002.

Right now, the ballot-qualified parties are, in order:
Row A — Democrat
Row B — Republican
Row C — Conservative
Row D — Working Families
Row E — Green
Row F — Libertarian
Row G — Independence
Row H — Serve America Movement (SAM)

AOC will most likely get the Working Families Party line. The greens generally don’t cross-endorse, but who knows in this case?

We’d like to get a wsell-funded candidate on the Independence and SAM lines. It’s not completely unthinkable that Caruso-Cabrera could ge tthe Conservative line if they think she has a real shot. Would the GOP cross-endorse her too?

In a race like that, like the Buckley and D’Amato races (both of whihc I had the pleasure of working on), and like the Lindsay-Proc accino-Marchi election or Jim Griffin’s election as Mayor of Bufflo, the split could possibly get the most conservative candidate elected.

Thanks for a great post! A lot has happened since I fled the northeast in 1998.

Interstingly, teh Liberal Party nominee in 2002 when they failed to get 50,000 votes and lost permanent ballot status was Andrew Cuomo.

It's not AOC that has the 5 mil, it's her campaign that has it.
