Does this mean there's a runoff?

1. ooh ooh ooh!!!

I want Anthony Weiner! Is it on TV at all?

[bluestateguy]

2. A runoff only helps Bloomberg

Makes for a shorter general election campaign in a race where he is already the favorite.

[Renew Deal]

4. Ferrer winning only helps Bloomberg

Ferrer is a spineless loser. He has nothing to offer. Weiner does.

11. It really depends on how the primary goes, it might help them.

Becuase it might very well give the Democrat a bunch of free publicity. If the city is paying attention to a runoff and not bloomberg, it might give one candidate the opportunity to get a message out to the whole city and maybe get some momentum.

3. interesting, where would the bottom 3's votes go if they withdrew?

Is Ferrer a good guy?

[Renew Deal]

5. I think Ferrer should not be elected to anything.

He went in front of a group of blacks and said that the Amadou Diallo shooting was a crime. Then he went in front of a group of cops and said it was not. That's slimey.

[Wickerman]

7. yech

now I know who you he is. That gives a new an concrete definition to slimey.

I should pay more attention to NYC politics, I know - it all winds up affecting the rest of us.

6. 2% (25,000)uncounted absentee ballots

Go Weiner!

[Mojambo]

8. Here's a question

Can someone tell me why I'm seeing ads for Anthony Weiner on local channels out here in Seattle? I can't figure that one out.

[Smarmie Doofus]

9. He must have hired media consultants from......

the NYC Dept. of Education.

[Renew Deal]

12. Are you really?

How many ads? Are people talking about it? That's hysterical.

[K-W]

10. Its interesting how much more publicity miller got than fields

even though it would seem she was a significantly stronger candidate.

I think Fields got shortchanged in this primary process.
