Based on very little, it seems Gilli would have a 2-1 advantage over a Dem challenger.
Still that seems enough to suggest there should be a primary to have Kirsten earn the statewide nomination.
Dems, would you want to see a primary? Or would you rather forego it and simply have Gilli prepare for the general election contest?
Not related, I thought there was quite a good article on how journalists should do a better job of covering challengers.
One never knows when a contest may actually become a contest.
I am keeping hope open for further challengers.
[I also am considering that it appears Dems will be looking to keep majorities. If that is actually the case, voters should consider how strongly they want to keep incumbents and which ones. I would welcome a split NY delegation, but it depends on which newcomer.]
