So here we are, at 12:39 AM.
De Blasio has 40.19%.
Thompson has 26.05%
Back in 2005, Ferrer got 40.15%.
Weiner did the right thing and said no runoff.
If these numbers stay close to what they are tonight after the final 3% is counted, plus the absentees, what does Thompson do?
Still some to go in the count, but that's the question I end the night on...
Why was propaganda used?

Answer:
It is made up political jargon, rumors and such, to discredit somebody or something, in order to break down order, and distract an otherwise stable system. In world war two there was a women named Tokyo Rose who used to try to disway Americans with propoganda to make them feel inadequate. It is still used.
That was from Answers.com....I admire the profound brevity of that definition....ring a bell,eh...?
ReplyDeleteThe News endorses Christine Quinn because she combines the clearest understanding of the difficulties facing the city with the most extensive record of getting things done as a councilwoman and accomplished City Council speaker.

"Today, The New York Times called Speaker Quinn the candidate who 'is ready to carry on at least as well as' Mayor Bloomberg," de Blasio's campaign manager Bill Hyers said in a fundraising email. "I won't argue with that. If you want a fourth Bloomberg term, then Speaker Quinn is your candidate."
ReplyDeleteHere's The Post's rancid endorsement....Quinn for Mayor...!
ReplyDeleteAnd that has disastrous implications for New York. With a UFT puppet in City Hall, mayoral control over the schools would inevitably be rolled back, and you can kiss the successful charter-school movement goodbye. It also has serious implications for the city’s finances, with the UFT demanding an enormous chunk of taxpayer cash in retroactive raises for its workers.
As Bloomberg has wisely noted: “If the UFT wants it, it ain’t good.”
Great points about the propaganda. Wait until the general. The horse hockey out of them is only going to worse.

ReplyDeleteI woke up and checked WNYC website. As of 6:00 am, deBlasio has 40.19%. There are 98% counted. Doesn't it look good for deBlasio yet or are the 2% frrom Thompson's family?
