NYC'13: Congrats to Mayor de Blasio

[cinyc]

We'll probably see the return of tribal voting in a big way in this runoff.

James is beating Squadron 60%-40% with 87% in.   Squadron takes Manhattan.  James takes all of the outer boroughs.  The AP just called it for James.

Have a good link for the results? James winning SI is a bit surprising.

I think this is the correct link, but it's an ABC result.

Too bad about James winning.  The silver lining is that the Public Advocate doesn't really do anything so it will be right in Tish James' wheelhouse.

[DINGO Joe]

I can find a link with precinct results, but not borough.

I voted for Squadron, but James is basically fine as well.  I think I ultimately like both of them better than any of the major mayoral candidates, in fact.

The runoff in fact costs the city more than an entire four-year term of yearly budgets for the Public Advocate's office.  Whee.

AP by-county results here.  James won Staten Island 55%-45%.

Quinnipiac's new poll has de Blasio up by 50 points! This is amazing!

Wow. And among the subsamples Lhota voters are substantially more likely to switch than DeBlasio's. The only group viewing BDB unfavorably is registered Republicans.

There better be a serious swing and/or MoE in play or even the Island is gone.

A couple things needed to break Lhota's way for him to have a prayer. Carrion's independent run needed to catch steam to syphon DeBlasio supporters, he needed to turn stop and frisk into an issue for swing voters to actually base their votes on, and he needed to run as a Guiliani-style moderate.

Every one of these things utterly fizzled.

Yeah, it appears Squadron won more precints, but the area James won along the north shore a) had significantly greater turn out relative to other parts of the island; and b) went for James by killer margins.

Hynes may have the Republican line, but he won't be using it:

Thank goodness.  This was the race with the highest chance of a disastrous outcome, and the voters did the right thing.

After saying for several weeks, he wasn't going to run on the R and C lines, Hynes will announce Tuesday that he will

Oh balls.  Well that will be extra motivation to turn out in November, to vote for Thompson and a whole pile of preordained conclusions.

[Eraserhead]

de Blasio is only up by 49% in NYT/Siena (68%-19%). Lhota is closing in!

The new Hynes poll is hilarious (sorry for the NY Post link):

Disappointing of de Blasio (going to a parade celebrating a genocidal, enslaving mass murderer)

Awful. Still, I suppose he does want to win places like Howard Beach.

[Keystone Phil]

Yeah, I saw de Blasio's totally political but rational answer (not sure if it was covered in the NY 1 article) on his feelings about Columbus Day. I knew the fanboys around here would be in tears.

[Eraserhead]

Columbus is basically just a mythical character at this point, not unlike Santa Clause, so it doesn't really matter anyway.
