Saw some reporter on Twitter say that his press shop is so amateur, they were hoping the Spitzer woman would come back and work for BdB.reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-68063558740668730362014-03-16T19:00:04.601-04:002014-03-16T19:00:04.601-04:00Election landslide had as much to do w/ the qualit...Election landslide had as much to do w/ the quality of the opposition (I always said Lhota was an unelectable schmuck and that's just how it turned out) as BdB and his policies. Don't misread the results. There was no progressive mandate in the election, there was a city sick of Bloomberg but not so sick of him that he still wasn't hovering over 50% in approval.reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-84427441693195990632014-03-16T18:58:04.396-04:002014-03-16T18:58:04.396-04:00Going to have some advice for de Blasio later toni...Going to have some advice for de Blasio later tonight on the pre-K issue now that we know Cuomo is already looking to cut the state funds allotted for NYC pre-K and afterschool programs.

I like Letitia James support on progressive policies. I think out of the election spotlight, John Liu can help de Blasio, too. He does need to shore up a team to do battle with the media to prove the public supports his policies. He needs to gain back progressive ground that Bloomberg usurped and destroyed. He landslided the election, he needs to take chances and make decisions with conviction.Poguenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-35734654546626101422014-03-16T17:43:37.559-04:002014-03-16T17:43:37.559-04:00He's probably doing the only thing he can at t...He's probably doing the only thing he can at this,point...clamming up and figuring out what the hell to do next...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-19514156371125974702014-03-16T17:38:51.464-04:002014-03-16T17:38:51.464-04:00I'm saying DeB is already dazed by this flurry...I'm saying DeB is already dazed by this flurry of punches...and In serious trouble...and probably waiting for this first round to end to get to his corner.

It wasn't hammered home to John Q Public on every news outlet for a month, except for us. It was noted more or less in a blurb, because the wouldn't dare criticize King Michael. Also, again, when Eva went back on the charter issue...she was Still hammered as a "flip flopper". I don't think "the media" was as cutthroat when he ran Hillary-he at least had great "media" support in certain camps. Here in NYC and nationally...it's a killing field....how do u handle that if u are DeB and Farina. This is a,gauntlet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
