After rumors first circulated that Cynthia Nixon might be running for New York governor, the inevitable not-that-funny。 Sex and the City  。jokes followed shortly thereafter.

And while Nixon has obviously outgrown her Miranda character, it's worth noting that her character would have easily had what it takes -- especially if she were up against a man who refused to fix the New York subways.。

She was an independent, intelligent lawyer whose name was not Andrew Cuomo.。

Here are just a few excellent Miranda quotes that could easily become campaign slogans, in a super clever fantastical world that many of us still pretend exists. 。
