Wrong answer. You have it backwards.
In an overwhelmingly Democratic city like New York, a Democratic candidate actually has a more difficult hill to climb to win the mayoral election -- because he/she first has to get through a hotly-contested primary fight involving as many as 5 or 6 opponents.
An ambitious Democrat who wants to be mayor of New York City is best served by running as a Republican -- just like Michael Bloomberg did in 2001. And I'm getting more convinced by the day that this is exactly what Rudy Giuliani did back then -- which is one more reason why he should never be trusted as the GOP nominee.

Bulloney. In NYC, you try to get on as many lines as possible..that maximizes your potential to get votes. This one has been debunked a dozen times, but if it makes you feel better, enjoy it...
