Alternative history:
WHAT could result of NY-Gov primary have been IF, at the time of the late-breaking corruption eruption, a duo with experience campaigning and governing had already, during most of the incumbent's term, acted as a leading public face of Progressive criticism of the incumbent, and as the default Progressive candidate (who could withdraw if a stronger-campaigning Progressive personality earned the critic's endorsement) .....?
WHO will that early-critic-cum-candidate duo be in the following? • 2018 NY Governor primary, and • 2016 NY US Senate primary.
If nobody else steps up soon after the November general election, then: • Teacher and/or Wu should re-invest their name recognition into performing this public service
WHAT part of this analysis is not equally applicable to primaries and otherwise-uncontested general elections for every electoral office in the country .....?
