what she did was to show that someone not funded by Corporations, hardly know, could actually challenge a sitting Governor and get I believe, over 30% of the vote.

It was an amazing showing. I can understand why Cuomo would not debate her.

If the Republican here in NY had not been so outright corrupt, she could have done even better, and I'm sure there were Democrats who would have liked to vote for her but were scared to death of the Republican.

She is definitely someone to watch and support.

I could see her running for Congress eg, or even the Senate.
