      [continued from previous message]              She faced Mr. Wu, a professor at Columbia Law School who is       known in technology circles for having popularized the term “net       neutrality.”              Mr. Cuomo spent considerable time and energy promoting Ms.       Hochul’s candidacy in recent days, flying to the Buffalo area on       the eve of the primary to rally for her. He enlisted some of the       leading names in Democratic politics to vouch for her, including       former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Mayor Bill       de Blasio of New York City, who hailed her as a “true       progressive.”              On a day with low turnout, many voters who did show up at the       polls said they had been moved to express their feelings about       Mr. Cuomo.              John Shea, 65, a retired editor who lives in Williamsburg,       Brooklyn, said he voted for Ms. Teachout, explaining that he       liked Mr. Cuomo but was disappointed with his decision to shut       down the Moreland Commission.              “This is a message,” Mr. Shea said. “He’s going to win anyway,       but I want to teach him a lesson.”              Another voter in Williamsburg, Sandra Glading, 37, who works in       communications, said she had some reservations about Mr. Cuomo’s       prolific fund-raising. But she said she approved of much of his       work as governor, pointing to his success at pushing through the       legalization of same-sex marriage.              “He is, for better or for worse, someone who can get stuff       done,” she said.              http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/10/nyregion/cuomo-and-hochul-win-       new-york-primary.html?google_editors_picks=true&_r=0                             --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
