...but he is still better than Mark Green.

I would vote for Dinkins before I would cast a vote for Bloomberg.

In 2006 Bloomberg will suffer the biggest defeat in NYC history

Any hope of Lazio running in the next primary? Or does he think the Senate would be better?

I suppose, but Bloomberg is still implementing socialist policies to deal with the financial crisis.

At least everybody knew what Mark Green was. Bloomberg, true to leftist Democrat form, deceived and led people to believe that he was something he isn't; I think people assumed that since Bloomberg was a "Republican" he would continue the ways of Guiliani. Bloomberg did nothing to disabuse voters of that assumption.

Talk about a shockaroo. Crime is shooting back up, ala David Dinkins, quality of life is plummeting, and a devastating increase in taxes that may very well be one of the final nails in the coffin of the New York economy is on it's way.

I wish now I had taken that trip to the city I planned when Guiliani was still mayor.
