John Catsimatidis is likely to run for Mayor against Bill de Blasio in 2017, but as a Republican. If things go awry, Cats could be a contender. He has a lot of charm.

Taking out BdB likely requires bleeding his black/hispanic support in the primary. Quinn and Stringer aren't going to do that. Run up the margins in Staten Island all you want.

The NYT article suggests the Massey campaign will be a huge bailout for some expensive consultants. The amount he's shelling out for has-beens like Doug Schoen doesn't inspire confidence in his ability to run a lean, successful campaign.

Doug helped Bill Clinton win in 1992 and 1996, and Michael Bloomberg's presidential runs. I won't call him has-been.

That is literally the definition of a has-been.
