If Manhattan Borough President Virginia Fields doesn't win the Democratic primary, there's a good chance Mayor Bloomberg will get the support of influential Harlem pastor Rev. Calvin Butts III.

"If Virginia loses the Democratic primary — even though I'm not giving an endorsement now — you can probably bet that I'll go with the mayor," Butts told The Post after the mayor attended his sermon at the Abyssinian Baptist Church on 138th Street yesterday.

Butts, who endorsed Democratic candidate Mark Green in the 2001 mayoral race, praised Bloomberg.

Bloomingidiot is a liberal Democrat anyway. I'm not surprised that a Charlatan like Rev. Butts would endorse him.

I wish Bloomingidiot and all the other yuppies would go back to Massholechusetts, California, Canada, and Ohio from whence they came. They have ruined the city.

Ohio? We don't want them!!!

I was in a car accident with a Rev. Butts (not the same one) 2 years ago. The guy had no insurance.

Every liberal Douchebag from the Midwest (Michael Moore anyone?) seems to settle in NYC. I can see why you don't want them.

The worst are the people who move from California or Canada.

Ohio is a "red" state, but in Akron where I live (Akronistan) conservatives are as rare as palm trees in Fairbanks.

Idiots who say that Bloomy won't be reelected, please take note.
