Mark Green Pinky Swears He's Done Losing Elections

2009_10_markgreenhl.jpg After losing big to Bill deBlasio in last week's public advocate runoff election, Mark Green is saying that he is out of politics for good...again. Green says his defeat came down to two factors: "Turnout; the array of forces. Period." Always the gracious loser, he added, "I was surprised and disappointed that the other side's operation overwhelmed my record and optimism." Green says he will go back to writing and his work at Air America. His daughter told him now he can go back to what he's good at—with there now being one thing we can all safely rule out that is not.

    Let's hope he actually keeps his word this time. Does he want to be known as the perennial loser? I mean, he's almost there....

    Don't count out Mark Green. He hasn't run for governor or president yet.

    His brother is the big S.H. Green real estate owner who just escaped (if that's the word responsibility) in 2001

    when foreign workers died from a scaffold fall on one of his managed buildings on Park Avenue South and 17th street right after 9-11.

    After so many introductions, the exit door and his ass must be the best of friends by now.

    I think he would have made a great public advocate.
