The Daily News performed a hilarious survey to see whether a hundred people in downtown Brooklyn know who City Comptroller William Thompson and Representative Anthony Weiner—the two Democrats likely to battle it out for the 2009 mayoral nomination—are. Armed with photographs of the two men, reporters asked folks if they could identify the subjects. The findings? Answers like "They look familiar. I've seen them, but I can't remember their names." Apparently 20 recognized City Comptroller Thompson while "29 [were] able to identify" Rep. Weiner "but three people thought he was former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey." One woman said, "That's Spitzer. No, wait, it's the gay governor from New Jersey, McGreevey." But Thompson and Weiner shouldn't worry—there's still, what, seven months till the primary.

Anthony Weiner's Campaign Slogan:
Weiner: He's the Guy who Looks like that Gay Governor from New Jersey!
All that being said, I'm a big fan. I'm voting for him. Time to get that bum Bloomberg out of office.
Btw, I say the groundhog was New York's version of the shoe thrower.
"THE ENTIRE CITY BIT THAT FINGER (and then nibbled on some corn)"
Looks like Spitzer? Ouch! But he does look like McGreevey.
McGreevey/Weiner '09.
Spitzer/Swallow '09
Being that the NYDN and Bloomberg administration are in collusion, it does not surprise me they knock his opponents.

why is the survey "hilarious"? weiner and thompson aren't billionaires who can spend hundreds of millions of dollars on their campaigns so they can brain wash the idiot masses into voting for them like bloomberg did, will do again. it's not "hilarious", it's a shame.
