Is Ferrer taking a dive? Shilling for Bloomberg again?

[robbedvoter]

I used to see his ads during the primary - NOTHING lately!
And Bloomberg people are giving flyers in my corner and putting them on cars. Is there a race going on anymore?
Not even W-Kerry travesty was THAT one-sided!

1. Ferrer couldn't raise any money

Word is that bigger donors don't want to tick-off Bloomburger.

The weirder question for me is how crazy does one have to be to spend $100 million on campaign ads when you are up ~65/35 in the polls? and Bloomberg is lying his butt off in the ads and Ferrer doesn't have the money to call him on them.

Numbers came out this morning showing subway crime is UP -- Bloomburger says it is down.

The Bloomberg astro-turf squad (they are paid) put campaign people into seats at a diner where Blommberg made an appearance. The campaign people gave interviews to press people BUT DID NOT say they where with the campaign! They pretend to be regular customers. Just like his man on the street ads but worse -- outright fraud.

6. Interesting. Exactly what BFEE did in the national election, only with

even less scrutiny than W had from the press (occasionally the "fix" was written then). In part because new Yorkers are asleep when it comes to local politics - in part because Ferrer is a bad candidate with bad karma.

2. Ferrer is invisible.

The race is over barring a miracle. I told everyone that he was a loser. Weiner might not have won, but he would have competed.

3. where is the DNC support? where are national dems?

Why aren't the DNC and more national Dems helping out Ferrer? The Clintons have campaigned with him - but they made a half hearted attempt. We need teh Dems to take back NYC, but the DNC and national Dems aren't helping. Bloomberg must pay for bringing Bush and the Republicans to NYC for their convention.

5. Maybe the DNC (like me) is still pissed of Ferrer's tricks in 2001

You know, the ones that brought us Bloomberg - urging his base not to vote for Green. I am having a hard time voting for him too because of tht - but I will vote against Bloomberg.
