In 2012, Rangel beat Espaillat by just nearly 1,000 votes. In 2010, Rangel won his primary with a 10,000+ vote lead over Adam Clayton Powell IV (whose grandfather was Rangel's predecessor in Rangel's House seat). I wonder if Rangel has ever had a primary as tough as this.

See my post below #12

Espaillat didn't do well, considering two years time to get more recognition and lots of time to plan an all-out effort, IMHO.

Rangel being a 40+ year incumbent has far more fundraising advantage than a newbie like Espaillat.

And considering Walrond got about 8%, with most of that appearing to come from districts where Charlie did very well and very little from districts where Espaillat did well, one might imagine Charlie would have won by over 10 percentage points without Walrond running.
