I just donated 50 $ to the NYC DEM candidate for Mayor.
At this site:

There was a sickening article in yesterday's NY TIMES indicating that Mr. Obama may be planning a non-endorsement and actually prefers the republican candidate, billionaire Michael ("Term-limits") Bloomberg to the candidate that we DEMS just nominated in an open primary with a *landslide* majority, NYC Comptroller Bill Thompson.


Obama can do as he sees fit, but he seems increasingly confused about who he is and what he's doing. I see fit to support our nominee.

I will wait two weeks. If the President does not endorse Thompson without hesitation within that time, my 2009-20010 DNC contribution will go to the Thompson campaign.

I recommend others do the same. I did not cross state lines last year, dragging a reluctant teenage son and two semi-enthusiastic adult friends to walk the neighborhoods of west Philly, banging on doors in order to secure this kind of "leadership."

Anybody thinking the same thoughts?

1. Oh, BTW, Bloomberg is expected to spend 100 million...
Edited on Wed Oct-07-09 08:27 PM by Smarmie Doofus
... just to win this election. ( And that's just "on the books" money... i.e. to news outfits and such for moronic and dishonest commercials; lots more is invested... in the sense of , ahem , "charitable contributions" to neighborhood groups , who payback with endorsements.) Other people might call these *bribes*. But not me.


So far this visionary ( I also like to think of him a Mayor Hole-in-the-Ground; his pr people cast him as a "can do" guy; so what's the story with the WTC? Still a friggin *pit* after 8 years. Ya... Bloomberg makes things happen. ) has spent 37 million and despite that PLUS incumbency is still leading in the polls by only 10%.

Our DEM candidate, by contrast, is working with about 5 million total.



Again, whether the WH crowd likes it or not:

2. Morning kicka-reeno. Can't believe I'm out here by my lonesome.
Come on now. You *know* it's true.
