'Sex and the City'

Only a Miranda could fix the mess that is the New York City subway system — but can Cynthia Nixon truly mend what the MTA and Gov. Andrew Cuomo have been unable to get a handle on? New Yorkers and “Sex and the City” fans on Twitter seem to think so.

At the time of this writing, “Cynthia Nixon” was the top Twitter trend in the United States, and “Miranda” was only a few spots behind. A few hours earlier, Nixon officially announced her candidacy for governor of New York.

See some of our favorite ringing endorsements below. Nixon, like Cuomo, is a Democrat.

I think "She's actually ridden the subway" might just be a valid campaign slogan

I support Cynthia Nixon.

She's a long time education activist who rides the subway every day, opposes the IDC, is fearless and strong, supports single payer, speaks out against big money in politics. She will be a great Governor of our amazing state. https://t.co/Fc1CvKzgyr

One of the tabs on Cynthia Nixon's campaign website is called "#CuomosMTA"

"Unlike Governor Cuomo, Cynthia Nixon rides the subway every day. She understands first-hand the toll that his disastrous mismanagement of the MTA is taking on everyday New Yorkers."

But then again, there’s this one damning outlier to consider:

i once saw cynthia nixon eating sushi on the subway and i don’t know if i can vote for someone who openly displays that kind of unethical behavior
