Bloomberg’s campaign less than stellar

Notwithstanding Mayor Michael Bloomberg having spent eight years as mayor, an alleged first-hand knowledge of finances and spent close to $100 million on a re-election campaign as compared to city Comptroller Bill Thompson’s less than $10 million, the best Bloomberg could do was beat Thompson by only 50,000 votes and even less if we take into account the close to 40,000 votes garnered by other candidates (“Voters return Marshall, mayor as Liu swept in as comptroller,” TimesLedger Newspapers, Nov. 5).
