In 2009 Billionaire Michael Bloomberg Spent more than $100 Million of his OWN Money to keep his BLACK Opponent, Democrat & Former NYC Comptroller William C. Thompson from Capturing the Mayor's Seat.
Yes Bloomberg was so Opposed to a BLACK Man becoming the Next Mayor of NYC, he even "Convinced" City Council Members to change the rules making it possible for him to Bid for a Third Term.
And after much Schmoozing & Spending of his Cash, Bloomberg Mysteriously eked out a Win.
In fact he barely defeated William C. Thompson.
Well.....
Bloomberg's Third Term ends in 2013.
Thank You Jesus!
Sorry but at this point that's how I feel.
So who will New York City's Next Mayor be?
Here are the likely Candidates:
Christine C. Quinn (D): NYC Politician (She has some of the LGBT Vote)
William C. Thompson Jr. (D): Bed-Stuy Native & Former NYC Comptroller (He has the BLACK, Latino, LGBT, Educated, Middle Class Vote)
Bill De Blasio (D): NYC Politician
Scott M. Stringer (D): Manhattan Borough President (He has the Wealthy Manhattan Voters)
And...
John C. Liu (D): Current NYC Comptroller (He has the Asian Vote. i.e, China Town)
Which Candidate do you think Democrats & the Obama White House will throw their Weight behind?
Will it be the Well-Qualified BLACK Candidate: William C. Thomspon?
Or....
The WHITE LGBT Candidate Christine C. Quinn?
Stay Tuned.
