In yesterday's New York's Democratic Party primary election for governor 
/Zephyr Teachout/ received nearly 35 percent of the vote against the 
incumbent governor, Andrew Cuomo.

For my Illinois friends, Zephyr Teachout was the progressive candidate 
in the race.

Cuomo had $40 million dollars in his campaign coffers.

Teachout spent $200,000.

She won in half the counties in the state, including Albany.

Good morning Rahm.

When the next reporter talks about the dollar advantage Rahm has against 
Karen Lewis and Bob Fioretti, just yell, /"Teachout!"/

/I love that name, by the way./

It reminds me of when I got mail at school addressed to /"Art Klonsky." 
/Like my name was what I did.

No Zephyr didn't win. She might have if the state's unions - who Cuomo 
has treated like crap - had endorsed her. But they are like the Illinois 
state unions who have no spine or willingness to create a progressive 
alternative to the status quo.

But on $200,000 she received more primary votes against a sitting 
governor than /anybody in the history of New York's primaries./

Good morning Rahm.

Karen Lewis is no Zephyr Teachout.

Karen has wide name recognition. /She will raise far more than 
$200,000./ The union she is president of, the Chicago Teachers Union, 
had the support of most Chicagoans when they went on strike against the 
Mayor. The other city union members hate him.

She out-polls him.

She may not match Rahm dollar for dollar. His friends like Bruce Rauner 
and union-buster Penny Pritzker will make sure of that.

Yet Karen will /raise plenty of money./

And she won't have to spend it on renting people to canvass voters.

/Good morning Rahm./
