Will a leftwing challenge emerge?

NYT says we'll know by May 31 when the Working Families Party holds its convention. Cuomo is apparently trying to mend relations with unions behind the scenes so they stick with him, and it looks like the WFP is having trouble finding a candidate who they know would be able to get the 50,000 votes necessary to keep its place on the ballot for the next election.

I still don't buy those marijuana numbers, but the numbers for the gubernatorial race look accurate.  I wouldn't be surprised if half the anti-Cuomo voters were opposing him from the left.
