More Mikey?
When I first read this headline - Poll: Ferrer Would Beat Bloomberg* - I was not surprised. I'd have bet that a NYC subway rat could beat Mikey in the 2005 mayoral election. But apparently there are, in fact, potential candidates who would lose to Mikey, were the election held today.
But the mayor would narrowly beat City Council Speaker Gifford Miller, with 39 percent saying they would choose Bloomberg and 37 percent saying they would vote for Miller, the poll found.
Voters said they would also pick Bloomberg over Comptroller William Thompson, City Councilman Charles Barron, U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner and Assemblyman Brian McLaughlin, the poll found.
What the hell? How could any of those people be worse than Mikey?
*For those who don't know, Fernando Ferrer is the Bronx Borough President.
