She's had no real opposition so far. Unity Caucus - including Mulgrew - backs her 100%. The wild card this year is the group from NYSUT - Stronger Together - that split off and may be willing to join an anti-Randi coalition, thus taking away the usual 100% guaranteed NYSUT support by splitting roughly 30-35% off the top. She still should win - and I do not think Lewis would run against her since she is focused on Chicago.ed notes onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018047869059226777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-22050457817811034772014-07-05T20:32:48.069-04:002014-07-05T20:32:48.069-04:00Against Randi? you mean someone is? how quaint...Against Randi? you mean someone is? how quaint...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08125018774502675730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-14577247456389235072014-07-05T18:23:23.537-04:002014-07-05T18:23:23.537-04:00If the polls show she can do it and she has the ma...If the polls show she can do it and she has the major bucks to run a campaign, then go for it. Unfortunately, Rahm has a big machine already in place that will use every dirty trick in the book and when it comes to politically maneuvering, he like Cuomo is a master at getting whatever he wants. I would much rather see her as head of the AFT and hope the delegates can see the writing on the wall when it comes to Randi. I have lost all faith in teachers when it comes to anything political because they are so uninformed about what's going on in the rest of the country and how Randi was a big part of all the problems we are facing now.

Did Rahm really say "F*ck you Lewis!" to her? That's awful!! What a creep!<br /><br />Mary<br /><br />ps Is Randi up for re-election at the AFT? Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
