Why I Believe It Will Be A Bill de Blasio/Bill Thompson Runoff.

After watching the Democratic mayoral debate, I am more and more convinced that it will end up to be a Bill de Blasio/John Thompson runoff.  The poor showing by Christine Quinn and her high negatives show that the majority of Democratic voters will not vote for her.  In fact, she probably lost the "Bloomberg Democrats" with her support of the elimination of some of the Mayor's enforcement initiatives.

By contrast, I thought that Anthony Weiner was on the top of his game and had a good grasp of the issues.  John Liu also came out well and I suspect that the downward slide in the polls by Weiner has ended and I predict both Weiner amd Liu will see an upward bump in the next set of polls.

Bill de Blasio and Bill Thompson held their own on stage and except for a brief stumble by Thompson on giving municipal workers "retroactive raises", they did a good job presenting their case.

Unfortunately, that left Christine Quinn who spend most of the debate trying to ignore the "third term issue" and the relentless attacks on how she "aided and abetted" the Mayor in overturning the will of the people by eliminating "term limits" ,her failure to pass legislation,  and  her continued insistance in  talking past her allotted time while gnoring the moderator's attempt to go to another candidate or question. Below are the grades I assigned the candidates.
travesty, 

Anthony Weiner................................A
John Liu..........................................A-
Bill de Blasio.....................................B
Bill Thompson...................................B-
Christine Quinn.................................D+

How did the rest of you see it?
