I read somewhere that Weiner and Spitzer both lost their bids for office, too!
I don't doubt that you're right, but I have no idea what happened in NYC. I think of that as lost left-wing-land; so, I guess they can do as they want. I will not be living there any time soon.
I am concerned about upstate NY, not the city. When the upcoming secession movement develops, I predict that the bulk of the state of NY will separate from the city. It will be interesting.

Spitzer defeated and Weiner finished with few votes.
