@richardmskinner Complication is that I think there are Black and Hispanic voters who are moderately conservative on crime and social issues -- and don't spend their time fantasizing about Democratic Socialism. — PolitiTweet.org

@heathbrown @freedlander Someone who fears crime and is intrigued by Yang's so-called celebrity. Also, I'm not sure that with the confusion surrounding ranked choice voting that the results are going to make clean ideological sense. — PolitiTweet.org

Short answer: "No." But it would be fascinating to have a mayor who, like Procaccino in 1969, denounced "limousine liberals." Of course, Procaccino, who got launched into politics by LaGuardia, said of a fellow politician, "He grows on you, like cancer." https://t.co/kcZqMmFehX — PolitiTweet.org

Wondering there’s an opening for a flat out conservative Democrat:. Could Procaccino win on a write-in? https://t.co/cQvNBgcQYy

@freedlander Or if both Wiley and Garcia get buried in an Adams-Yang finale, it suggests that everything is over-hyped. Also, there is the chance that Wiley could finish behind Stringer, the great endorsement loser. The head reels from all the scenarios. — PolitiTweet.org

Can you think of a single thing that would more inspire Democratic off-year turnout than House Speaker Trump? And it would be such a great "screw you" to Kevin McCarthy's lickspittle devotion to the exiled King of Mar-a-Lago. — PolitiTweet.org

@mcpli I totally understand. The mayoral race is so baffling that I haven’t even figured out who is running for most of the other races on the ballot. — PolitiTweet.org

Not sure that Lieberman is the right example, especially since he served four terms in the Senate. Unlike Sinema, Lieberman (especially before 2006) was a middle-of-the-road Democrat on almost all issues except foreign policy. — PolitiTweet.org

@katherinemiller It would also be a primo system to encourage future Bloombergs to run for mayor as independents. If established statewide, it would be the Hedge Funders Ego Program. — PolitiTweet.org

@katherinemiller It also is supposed to let voters go for their favorites without worrying about wasted votes. But everyone I talk to (not a cross-section of anything) is trying to figure out how to vote strategically. — PolitiTweet.org

A wonderful article. I have from the 1950s of playing a pinball-like baseball game with a spring-released marble for a pitch, a bat on a spring, and indentations in the OF indicating if it were a hit or an out. Sounds very much like the 19th century table top games. — PolitiTweet.org

@johnastoehr Maybe it would have been simple if the Democrats had not blown the NC Senate seat or figured out a way to beat Susan Collins or pulled off an upset with a great candidate in Montana. Politics is based on results and you don't get extra credit for busting your ass in losing races. — PolitiTweet.org

@k8croy Nope. All it means is that votes won't be counted if Stringer is eliminated. Bullet voting is great in multi-member elections. But not with ranked choice voting. — PolitiTweet.org
