The New York City Marathon was yesterday and the weather was great for it and I certainly hope the runners and spectators alike had a great time at the event. There was blog post last week on Gothamist about streets that would be closed due to the marathon and the accompanying picture showed some runners passing a group of spectators and one person held a sign that said "No One Made You Do This." I, personally, found this funny.
In other things no one made you do, tomorrow is election day in New York and we'll be voting for a new mayor to take over after Bloomberg's illegal third term. I fully intend to get out and vote in the morning for DeBlasio. As for Lhota, no one made him run for mayor. He chose to do it and he'll have to live with the consequences. I think he's run an ineffective campaign. I don't think he's a terrible guy, but he just hasn't done a good job of getting his message out and he's got no one to blame but himself. Although the polls show DeBlasio with a sizable lead, you never know what might happen at the polls. DeBlasio folks could think his chances are so good that they can afford to stay home and not vote tomorrow and the Lhota folks could come right in and sweep this thing.
