God, I love Sliwa getting trounced (with 69% of votes counted, he's at 7.7%)

He's always been an opportunistic brownshirt. Go take a lint brush to your beret.

Ironically, he's the only candidate in any race I've actually interacted with. We were both getting the day's newspaper at Penn Station back when I was commuting at hours when sane people still have an hour or two before their alarm goes off (I presume he was on his way to his morning radio show). Nothing beyond head nods and "you first" gestures because I didn't really have anything to say to him beyond "you suck", so I left it as neutral encounters. Why get hot and bothered at that hour?

That’s Cuomo’s legacy. He ended as the unsuccessful Republican candidate for Mayor of New York City.

What a dick.
