Aside from Giuliani, the last person worth voting for in this city was William F. Buckley (you could say Marchi, but he had all the personality of a Venetian blind).

I agree with this, but disagree with your assessment of Ferrer. I think he can do a great deal of damage, he's certainly to the left of socialist. He straddles border-line Communism.

Remember, that I lived in the Boogy-down Bronx when Ferrer was borough president. The worst thing that can happen is that he becomes a "yes man" to the city council, which can VERY WELL happen.
