To me, probably Mark Green or Bill Thompson. Green lost because he ran a racially divisive runoff campaign against Fernando Ferrer in 2001, and Black and Latino voters stayed home, and Bloomberg won in '01.

Thompson has executive experience, but no charisma or message.

All the others were meh.

NYC mayors and runner-ups don't have a political future
