1. He won

[Happyhippychick]

2. He did?

[MadBadger]

3. NY Times called it at least

[Raineyb]

15. Well the NY Times can kiss my ass! They've got a vested interest in Bloomberg winning. n/t

[onehandle]

4. Exit polls, weeks of polls, all polls say Bloomberg wins. nt

[polichick]

5. Guess 100 million dollars doesn't go as far as it used to. nt

[Justitia]

7. Isn't that obscene?? $ 100 MILLION! -eom

[polichick]

9. Yeah - think how many jobless New Yorkers that could've helped! nt

[Raineyb]

13. More like ship out. n/t

[polichick]

14. They shipping jobless ones out now too, home or not? nt

[Raineyb]

17. Well there is that program to ship the homeless out of the city (and possibly country)

Considering the job situation it's only a matter of time until the jobless join the list. It's not like they can expect any assistance from the city. As far as Bloomberg is concerned you can starve.

6. A sudden change - a real race! -eom

[Libertas1776]

8. All the newspapers that endorsed Bloomie say he won

I'll wait until at least 50% districts are reporting.

10. The NY Times are scum

[Raineyb]

11. I made a point to vote before going to class.

I did not vote for Bloomberg.

[DainBramaged]

12. 2000 votes separate them WOW

[malaise]

16. He should not have been allowed to run for a

third term. Fuck him - buying elections

[Raineyb]

18. Exactly!

The people voted for term limits not once but twice but Bloomberg wants to buy a third term so he has it overturned. We don't need Bloomberg we can get by just fine with another mayor.

[Libertas1776]

19. And what do the people

do in return, they re elect the bum bastard billionaire from Boston (albeit by a very slim majority)

Although I am pretty certain he got those winning votes from the gentrified yuppie hipster crowd and the Wall Street whores who call NY home.
