The NY DAILY NEWS, not my favorite paper, shows Bloomberg by 3%.

[saltpoint]

When I last checked it was at 91% of precincts in.

I'd love to know which precincts.

1. The NYDN is the most liberal paper in NYC. nt

[saltpoint]

2. When I lived there I would get up early to get a copy of The Village Voice.

I can get it on-line now of course, but there was a bigger thrill diving into a hard copy over early coffee.

The NY POST, certainly, is garbage.

[Captain Hilts]

6. I haven't seen the Voice for years. I used to get it. I won't buy the NYPost even though

it IS a Mets paper.

8. True, the Mets should get some credit. I miss both the Voice hard copy

and the rickety No. 7 train out to Shea.

God, I'm getting homesick here.

[Captain Hilts]

9. RFK was very Shea-like while the Nats were still in it.

Mookie will always be MY GUY.

I worked at the Mets' AAA ballpark.

[saltpoint]

11. Ballpark work is noble stuff. Good for you.

I'm more than a little jealous.

And homesick to boot.

3. I'll read the NYDN over the Times any day

You can have the Judith Miller watercarrying rag.

4. I used to love John Leonard's book reviews on Wednesdays and of course

I love Frank Rich's columns.

[Captain Hilts]

7. I read the NYDN regularly. Especially on Sunday. nt

[Captain Hilts]

10. Terrible that Lars Erik Nelson keeled over. We could have used him these past 8yrs. nt

5. Update at 76% of precincts in:

--Bloomberg by 3%.

12. With 91% of precincts reporting, Thompson trails by 3%.

http://breakingnews.nydailynews.com/dynamic/files/elections/2009/by_state/NY_Mayor-NYC_1103.html?SITE=NYNYD&SECTION=POLITICS

--a far closer race than I'm sure Bloomberg expected.

[saltpoint]

13. Bloomberg now the projected winner in the DN's summary total page.

Thompson obviously gave it a good run.

Tomorrow's media may calculate how much each vote cost Bloomberg, given the amount he spent.
