to do the same that were contemplating voting Green. I posted this in another thread...

"THE INCUMBENT Mr. Cuomo’s political team has not enjoyed the past few weeks. They are frustrated that Mr. Cuomo faces a spirited primary challenge, because he is an incumbent who is generally popular with voters, and they are even more frustrated with the amount of media attention that Ms. Teachout has received."

but a couple of paragraphs below...

"ODDS Ms. Teachout is just about the only person who has predicted that Ms. Teachout will win on Tuesday. While there has been no public polling of her matchup with Mr. Cuomo, her most obvious challenge is name recognition: A statewide poll conducted from Aug. 14 to 17 by Quinnipiac University found that 85 percent of Democratic voters had not heard enough about her to form an opinion."

She could have easily won.
