Hawkins and Credico Try to Woo Harlem Residents

A lifelong third-party activist and veteran of Dr. Benjamin Spock’s 1972 presidential campaign on the long-forgotten People’s Party ticket, the 61-year-old Hawkins is hoping New York’s 125th Street and Lexington Avenue — a familiar spot picked out by Credico — proves to be his lucky corner, just as 116th Street and Lexington Avenue proved to be the late Fiorello H.

Howie Hawkins - Andrew Cuomo tarred Rob Astorino this week for being a—gasp!—Miami Dolphins fan. Astorino retorted with the charge that Cuomo kills unicorns, which, apparently, is some sort of satire. That’s right, post-primary the gubernatorial race has degenerated into silly season. Fortunately, while the governor and his GOP challenger go at it like they’re vying to become president of a frat, there is at least one candidate in the race conducting himself like a grown-up. Hawkins, the Green Party candidate, has hammered away at the issues—imagine that—and his surprising poll numbers seem to reflect that people appreciate him elevating the discourse—or just really don’t want to vote for the other guys.
