The Brian Lehrer Show

Listeners call in to talk about Cynthia Nixon, the actor and activist who is challenging Governor Cuomo for the Democratic nomination for governor of New York.

I would consider voting for anyone who understands what NYS abortion law is, why it’s harmful and feels an urgency to fix it.

@BrianLehrer, I'd like to hear more AND I'd probably vote for @CynthiaNixon today. I'd like more specifics. I cannot, however, stand #cuomo's machinations, particularly the way in which he refuses to work with @BilldeBlasio, trying instead to upstage &marginalize him.

Wouldn’t even consider it for a moment! Really think what govt., people need now is some more self-absorbed clueless “celebrities.” Get real - we need people who know how to manage effectively, get things done.

But some listeners think it's too early to tell:

@BrianLehrer I think it’s too early. We barely know what @CynthiaNixon is actually proposing. The sound bites sound good but I haven’t heard any actual policy details yet. Thanks for yet another great segment.
