New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn's latest campaign promise may be behind the surprising surge in voter appeal of her rival for mayor, former Representative Anthony Weiner (D-NY). Quinn says that if she's elected companies will not be allowed to market unhealthy foods to children.
One voter who said she is reluctantly switching her support to Weiner explained “it's a tough choice. I mean, there's no question that Weiner is a pervert, but the scope of the damage he can do seems like it would be more limited. Being on the receiving end of one of his sexts would be disgusting. Quinn, though, looks like she wants to be a dictator. Sure, she thinks it's for our own good, but shouldn't I be the one who decides whether my kid gets a 'Happy Meal' or not?”

Very difficult to choose between two such excellent candidates, plus then we’d have to declare someone the loser. Can’t we just have them both? Co-Mayors or something? [/lib mode]
More like: Pervert or pervert?
That satire makes more sense than what is actually going on.
Bill Thompson will lock up the union support — and at this point in time, no municipal union has a current contract , so they’re interested in this election. They are peeved at Bloomberg, and Quinn gave us the third term of Bloomberg.
It IS what is actually going on. Fooled again.
Thompson has the teachers’ union but the other unions are evenly distributed among the other Dems.
I believe the citizens of NYC deserve both.
