None of this changes the fact that Squadron runs considerably to the right of Connor. Back when Connor was challenged from the left, I kept out of the race. But now that Connor is being challenged from the right I am increasingly favoring him.

Connor plays the game with the establishment, which has always been my complaint with him. But Squadron is no outsider either, being supported by big money interests and coming from Schumer's expanding circle (starting with Anthony Weiner and David Yassky and expanding from there). I have no doubt both are good Democrats, but there is also no question that Squadron is a Bloomberg Dem, wanting privatization of our schools. Connor votes solidly progressive even if some of his actions are less progressive.

I think it is healthy that DG is split on this race. I think it comes down to the new face with a more conservative, Bloomberg style approach vs. the old, more exprienced but also more cynical guy who is more progressive.
