It's 9:45 and even though the polls only closed at 9, NY1 and most pundits have already called the run-off. The numbers are as follows:
City Comptroller
John Liu- 56.6%
David Yassky- 43.4&
82% reporting
Public Advocate
Bill de Blasio- 62.6%
Mark Green- 37.4%
82% reporting
These are not small victories, but rather major double digits crushings. This is a victory for progressives, for the Working Families Party, and for general change in the city. All four of these candidates are seasoned politicos but there's a big difference between Councilmen like de Blasio and Liu as opposed to multi-time candidates and long term political operatives like Green and Yassky.
I'm happy about these results. What are you thinking? |
