Yup, the few Democrats that voted yesterday chose two radicals as their standard bearers: John Liu, to run as city controller and Bill DeBlasio, former Hillary Clinton campaign manager, to run for public advocate. I say "elect" because this is an overwhelmingly Democratic city. Yes, the New York Democratic primary voters who stayed home on Tuesday (i.e., the vast majority) allowed Liu, who is loved by the municipal unions, and De Blasio, who is the beloved of ACORN, to be foisted upon a city that is facing bankruptcy. Way to go, Democratic voters! As much as I dislike Mark Green, he is true to his annoying self and has some concern for the public. Yassky, whom Liu defeated, is an old fashioned liberal. I do not like him, but he is an improvement over Liu. Heaven help New York City as we are sold down the river. This was a big victory for the "Working Families Party" which is code for "people who do not work". We will soon be joining California in the "which is the worst state" contest and these are two Blue States!
