Cuomo has him by the -----. Cuomo turned the PreK issue against him. He transformed Moskowitz into the slighted stepchild. You have excellent political instincts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-38320918510297561142014-03-13T20:55:29.987-04:002014-03-13T20:55:29.987-04:00I don't think those ads are working.

By your own admission, Cuomo is weak.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-69461480504025291932014-03-13T19:12:38.726-04:002014-03-13T19:12:38.726-04:00Disagree that BdB has much of a mandate.

Also, those ads are working - I'm hearing from people outside education things like "Why does de Blasio hate poor black charter school students." That's not to say what Cuomo is looking to do is tremendously popular, but I wouldn't put much money on BdB in a fight w/ Cuomo right now.reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-9800155663239463432014-03-13T19:10:11.641-04:002014-03-13T19:10:11.641-04:00Good point, forgot to add that.Good point, forgot to add that.reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-43164870928233678712014-03-13T17:45:19.787-04:002014-03-13T17:45:19.787-04:00You know, if I were Andrew Cuomo I would be carefu...You know, if I were Andrew Cuomo I would be careful about antagonizing middle class voters. This charter school issue just might do that. BdB won 75% of the vote in NYC in large part because many middle class folks were fed up with the education policies of Bloomberg. As a middle class parent, I can tell you I am totally against charters as our many of children's friends parents. The charter school ads have aggravated the situation. Eva Moscowitz seems like a petulant child. I'm all for giving disadvantaged kids choice, but no on the backs of middle class kids. I don't plan to vote for Cuomo. I've never voted Republican but I will this time. I want to send a message to the Democrats - don't take my vote for granted. Just because there's no better option on the other side doesn't mean Andy Cuomo should not be smacked down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-45697389732764477942014-03-13T16:34:31.331-04:002014-03-13T16:34:31.331-04:00Charters also get a pass on ESL and Special Ed.
