Ed Koch.... The guys a joke.
I'd also say that Any New York "politician" is going to have little credence in this, just as any CHicago politiician is going to have little credence. Both are biased and are NOT acting in the parties best interests.
At the least though, you'd think it would be someone with prominence... not the woman who was part of one of the worst electoral defeats in history nor a man who is ridiculed in pop culture as the "asexual" mayor.
You lost me on "... not the woman who was part of one of the worst electoral defeats in history ..." To whom are you referring?
I'd assume the 1994 Conogressional elections, where the Democratic massacre was widely blamed on Hillary Clinton's handling of health care policy.
