While minorities are the new majority in the City Council, the Daily News' Adam Lisberg believes Speaker Christine Quinn will keep her leadership position: "When Quinn gave her late and grudging endorsement to city Controller William Thompson's mayoral campaign, reporters went running to [Councilwoman Letitia] James for what was sure to be an incendiary quote - but heard her praise Quinn instead. 'An endorsement is an endorsement,' James said." Apparently James and other Council members realize they should "cut deals with Quinn, because the speaker isn't going anywhere" and the "members who had seen their names floated as potential speakers are now talking with Quinn about getting leadership roles or powerful committees." As for Charles Barron's shot at being speaker, it's suspected he'll just get one vote.

Back to business as usual.
These city council have no backbone. We should have voted them all out especially James who sold us all out. She had us all out for rallies against the extension for term limits and ATlantic Yard development and now she supports Quinn. Quinn who extended term limits and Quinn who supported the Atlantic Yard project. Letita James is a fucking whore.
So much for felixthecat2's rants, Liu was elected, Bloomberg was reelected and Quinn will remain Speaker. I got to say that having her is way better than race-baiters such as Barron or James. James' quote on the chicken wing incident is just classically idiotic.
Both Bloomberg and Quinn barely won their 3rd reelection despite all their money, machine and paid endorsements. Learn some fact first please on how incumbents win 90% of the time in NYC.

I'll believe it when I see it, just like bloomberg's double digit lead in the election.
