Lucky Democrats, Victorious Republican
September 13th, 2005
In an opinion piece in the New York Sun, columnist Alicia Colon envies “those lucky registered Democrats” in New York City.
“They get to pick their choice of four candidates running for mayor” while “Republicans, as usual have no choice because GOP leaders in New York City tend to be pragmatic rather than principled…. The mayor’s one challenger, Thomas Ognibene, was kept off the primary ballot when his petitions were challenged successfully by a man who is on the Bloomberg campaign staff.”
The fact that Mayor Michael Bloomberg doesn’t have a Republican primary hasn’t stopped him from throwing a victory party. The Bloomberg campaign is reportedly holding its “Primary Night Celebration” at the Brooklyn Marriott, where the mayor will address a crowd of supporters.
