As they challenge Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his running mate Kathy Hochul for the Democratic ballot line this September, Fordham professor Zephyr Teachout and her running mate Tim Wu have raised a combined $277,360 for the effort.

Teachout had initially sought the Working Families Party ballot line in May, but ultimately failed to garner enough support at the labor-backed party’s convention, losing the endorsement to Cuomo.

Regrouping, Teachout last month launched a campaign to primary Cuomo on the Democratic Party ballot line.

1. She is on MSNBC right now.

Chris Hayes has her on. She is blasting Cuomo.

2. She was great.

[femmocrat]

3. Yes! First time I have seen her.

I think she has a bright future! Very impressive.

4. I might vote for her in the primary.

5. I would if I could!

LOL I'm in PA.

6. How are things looking in PA this Nov?

7. Corbett is 22 points behind the democrat, Tom Wolf.

Hopefully, Wolf can maintain his lead. Corbett is very unpopular, even with his own party it seems. He has been having a lot of trouble with his latest budget, and managed to piss off just about everyone. LOL

8. And the legislature and congressional seats?

9. Not sure, but I think republicans will hold on to the legislature.

I haven't followed the congressional contests across the state because I think most incumbents are safe. Our rep. is pretty much set for life. I don't even know if he has a democratic opponent. I don't remember voting for anyone in the primary!

The republicans gerrymandered a lot of the congressional districts as we have been losing seats in Congress after each census.

The governor's race is the big headliner here because incumbents almost never lose, especially the governor.

Thanks for asking!

10. I hope it gets better in PA.

Corbett is a crook.
