Gaius Publius & RJ Eskow: Progressive Politics Following the NY Governor's Race - a podcast by Jay Ackroyd

What does it mean for progressive politics that Zephyr Teachout and Tim Wu won 35% and 40% of the New York state vote, respectively, in an almost-unfunded campaign against entrenched Democratic incumbent Andrew Cuomo?

What does it mean for office-holders like NY Mayor Bill DeBlasio to have supported Cuomo and his conservative-leaning running mate Kathy Hochul?

Gaius Publius & RJ Eskow explore the consequences of Democratic party leaders'  continued espousal of unpopular positions in a time of progressive change. What does the New York Democratic primary battle tell us? What does it mean for the party in 2016?
