Bloomberg: 53.1%
Hevesi: 44.4%


Despite my PM score, I HATE Bloomberg, but only someone like William Bratton could have beaten him after 9/11.

Why not Hevesi? In my opinion, Hevesi would have matched well with Bloomberg with Jewish voters. He comes from Forest Hills, Queens, a Jewish enclave. He would have done well with the white ethnics.

If Hevesi had won, he may have lost to a well financed Republican in '05 if NYC had not been developed well after 9/11.
