"We in the press corps may laugh at a Nicki Minaj endorsement," but that's the first voice that many people will hear, @Azi says, on the power of endorsements. pic.twitter.com/TuVq7yA479

I was voter 22 at my ED @ 7:30 am, 50th on machine. That's heavier than usual turnout for the early hour. Anecdotally, many seem to be youngish, tattooed neighborhood newcomers. (A stereotype, I know.) One had a @CynthiaNixon tote bag on her arm. @BrianLehrer

.@Azi: "If you start chipping away at the value of experience in one race, you can start seeing how voters get habituated to a new normal."

.@Dr_CMGreer says she's curious about #NYAG race, bc Maloney has had ads on tv, but NY Times endorsement of Teachout woke a lot of people up. @harrysiegel says not sure Times endorsement did change shape of race, but it did change candidates' tactics against each other.
