Apparently this weekend Bloomberg insinuated he and ONLY HE can save NYC from becoming the next Detroit: “We all know that cities have gone through great boom times and then turned around and collapsed. Take a look at Detroit,” he said. “It went from a great city with lots of good-paying jobs to a city that’s basically holding on for dear life. All of our gains are always in danger of being turned around.” Talk about another indication that Bloomie has an exceedingly inflated sense of importance. The idea that any single individual can make or break a city is preposterous; to assert that NYC could devolve into the next Detroit during one mayor’s term (that is, IF they’re 4-8 … More >>
Obama Endorses Thompson
Democratic candidate for mayor Bill Thompson started off the week strong with a new poll showing he’s within single digits of the billionaire mayor.

Come On By – Thompson
NYC Comptroller and Democratic Mayoral Candidate Bill Thompson wants you to stop by his office. Really. You. TONIGHT. You free? In what he’s billing as “the biggest grassroots movement this City has ever seen,” Thompson has been struggling these past few months to get the spotlight away from the Bloomberg campaign. Though, polls clearly show Bloomberg in the lead, they also show that 3/4 of New Yorkers don’t know enough about the presumptive Democratic nominee. That might not paint the most ideal picture for Thompson, especially considering that Bloomberg has opted out of public financing and pledged to spend over $80 million of his own money in the general election, but those familiar with polling data will tell you that … More >>
