Great story today about Bill Thompson, the NYC Comptroller who promises to run against Bloomberg for Mayor next year. If there's one guy who can prevent Mike from getting a third term, it may be Bill.
He's a great public servant and a nice guy. I shook his hand once at a subway station three years ago when he was running for re-election (where he got 92% of the vote). He was as friendly and personable as could be, by no means a "slick" politician. Although he won't have Mike's money, Bill's smarts and charisma, not to mention his excellent qualifications, could make him a surprising formidable contender next year. Mike shouldn't be so confident that his re-election is in the bag.
