Voters Believe in Staten Island Chuck

Staten Island Chuck, your time has come! A Quinnipiac poll notes that New Yorkers support you and your taste for Bloomberg blood. The groundhog bit the Mayor at the start of the month, to much fanfare, and Staten Island Advance reports the poll found "61 percent of New Yorkers, including 79 percent of borough residents, said he was protecting the Island's interests. Fifteen percent said he was making a political statement." However, Mayor Bloomberg has promised to show the Staten Island Zoo resident who's boss next year—"I'm gonna get the little SOB next year. I'm gonna bite him in front of the cameras"—though the Mayor must be re-elected to do so. Oh, and the poll also found that New Yorkers want mayoral control of the schools to continue.
