When I worked in NYC, Curtis and Kuby on the radio was the best show around.

I don't know if Curtis can win - and he may be certifiable - but it wasn't too long ago that many people counted out another brash and mildly nutty New Yorker.

I doubt that he can win, but I wish him luck. New York needs a Republican administration to fix things.

I can’t imagine who you’re thinking of; but while I may agree with ‘brash’, I’ll never agree with ‘nutty’.

I believe I have it all figured out. Why Curtis seemingly cannot get elected to anything in spite of his qualifcations and friendly personality.

It’s that Red Beret.
As long as Curtis insists on always wearing that beret, the average New Yorker won’t be able to see him as anyone other than the leader of the Guardian Angels. This is a great group, but their tactics may seem overly confrontational, too ‘Tough Love’ like for some.
Also, some may consider the concept of Guardian Angels to be passe and a part of the distant past. Curt needs to update his image to appeal to younger New Yorkers.

I said the same thing when Kid Rock was pretending to ‘run’ for office some years ago. Not that i ever took him seriously. A lot of well meaning folks did though.
Kid Rock kept a hat on his head throughout the entire ‘campaign’, never once breaking character.

I remember seeing Guardian Angels in their red berets on the New York subway and feeling comforted that they were there. This was early 80s and crime was rampant and I felt the guardian angels will protect us

I met Sliwa once on West 34th Street...near Penn Station.IIRC that's where WABC has their studios. We talked for a minute...very nice guy.

As for his candidacy...he'd sure as hell do a better job than any Rat on the ballot.
