Dont trust the polls either, Bloomy might have bought them off just like he did with the city council. He's still not getting my vote.

And don't think that this website is unbiased when reporting these things. Notice all the mike bloomberg ads on here?

I don't like Bloomberg or Thompson. In a city this size, you'd think the Democrats could find at least one viable candidate.

Does the Bloomberg empire own the NY Times and Daily News and the hundreds of other sites that show Bloomberg ads?

The Democratic candidate would stand a better chance if he or she weren't an obvious machine pol/empty suit like Thompson. He'd be the second coming of Dinkins.

Bloomberg has something very few politicians have these days: experience and a proven record of accomplishment outside the cocoon of politics. Show me you can be successful in the real world before you run for office, I'll vote for you.

well put. I could be wrong, but I feel that when you're as successful as someone like bloomberg you're above politics to a degree. (as evidenced by his loose connections to political parties) He's thus enabled to focus on getting things done.

City Hall is not a Business. I can't put it plainer than that.
we don't need rich businessmen running it.
a filthy rich businessman, no matter what, there's that disconnect.

On Election Day, Give Bloomberg the finger! vote him out!

yep, he's just a middle class guy like us, he forgot where to park his helicopter.
