I'm getting to like Democratic candidate for NYC Mayor more every day. He was great in the debate...

....a few days ago, knew the issues and didn't get into the rampant personal attacks that a number of the other candidates engaged in.

Here's a tweet from him today:

You know it’s silly season when your opponents are staking out your office late at night so they can attack you for working hard!

He is a DINO/Repug in Democratic clothing. He used to be a republican. He wants to go back to Ghouliani's policies of broken windows, give the NYPD more money.

....(pun not intended) and two secondary candidates.

Top two were Wiley and Adams, second group was Morales and Garcia (both graduates of my HS)

After the debate Wiley's attitude turned me off, then she got some questionable endorsements. I wasn't impressed with Morales, but was with Adams and Garcia.

A couple of very good candidates, some absolute duds. Glad I don't have to make a real decision.

For starters, Adams is registered to vote on the first floor of 936 Lafayette Ave., yet a tenant who has lived there for years is listed under the same unit in multiple documents obtained by POLITICO. And last month, the publication City Limits reported that most of Adams’ neighbors did not know he lived on their block, or that he is running for mayor.
