Cuomo is disliked upstate, and in the Capitol region where many State employees who work him vote (Teachout won 62% of the vote in Albany County). Cuomo also screwed the Working Families Party last time around when he backed the IDC after promising that he’d help flip the State Senate. The WFP could endorse Nixon.

While Teachout never could have won in the 4 boroughs of NYC (Staten Island is a right-wing enclave and doesn’t matter), Nixon has been pretty active in politics there, has kids in NYC public schools, and actually is from the City. She may be able do better there than Teachout did, and if she can make a dent in NYC, she could put a scare into Cuomo and maybe even draw some blood and end Cuomo’s Presidential aspirations.
