November 9, 2005

July 21, 2005
As the massive crowd of pols, activists, and union members crammed on to the steps of City Hall on Wednesday morning, Councilman Robert Jackson revved up the crowd with shouts of "Who's not endorsing Bill Thompson?" The answer was, "Nobody," according to Jackson and his audience, and that seemed about right. "I was unaware of the fact," Ed Koch, the three-term mayor said of Thompson, "that he had no competition." In fact, Thompson (a Democrat who also has the Working Families Party line) does have an opponent— on the Conservative Party line. But with $3.5 million raised, Thompson probably won't have much trouble defeating the intrepid Herbert F. Ryan. And that's OK with Koch. "We don't want him to have any competition," he said, "either now or whenever he runs again." (Village Voice)
