At one level, I wish the anti-"reform" camp could coalesce around a single progressive candidate.

On the other hand... Astorino's kids ARE in ps; he *did* OPT-Out his kids and his spouse IS a public school SP ED teacher.

All I know for sure is that the DEM Party establishment is on another planet.
