NYC mayoral race update
Yesterday I mentioned that Anthony Weiner (mmph) had decided not to oppose Freddie Ferrer in a runoff election. The problem is, it looks like it's not really up to him. The runoff is mandated by state law, and may cost the city up to $12 million.
But I have a question. The turnout for the mandated runoff is likely to be extremely low, given that one of the candidates has, you know, quit. If only half a dozen people bother to vote, anything could happen. What would happen if Weiner wins?
It's all very messy, but I'm guessing that at the end of it all, career moron and habitual race hustler Fernando Ferrer will emerge with the nomination. And that begs an even more important question. In a city of eight million people, including the best and brightest this nation has to offer, are these four Democrats truly the best we can come up with?
