This notion that the people of NYC are smarter than all the rest of us is a crock. They’ll vote for any piece of human excrement as long as that creature has a D by his or her name.
Actually I think it’s more insane than that: They’ll vote for the person who will do the most damage to them. It’s a city made up of masochists. They get off on self destruction. For example they complained and complained when Bloomberg was getting more and more fascist. And what did they do? They reelected him and went back to complaining and complaining. That’s masochism.
