Quinn Top Moneymaker in NYC Mayoral Race

[William769]

With nearly double the amount of her nearest challenger, New York City council speaker Christine Quinn has raised $1.32 million for her bid to become the Big Apple's first openly gay mayor.

1. NO WAY I VOTE FOR HER.

Woman gave away my hospital.

2. Sorry to hear that.

Hope you were able to find another one that you like.

4. It's her district.

She sat still while North Shore opens a full-service hospital in an uptown area with one bed for every 85 people. But the Village/Chelsea/Soho? Over 350,000 people and all we get is a CLINIC? Quinn can go to Hell.

3. It appears it's ex-mentor Tom Duane's hand she's holding there.

Tom brought her into politics when he ran ( lost first time; won a rematch a couple years later.) for city council as first openly gay Council candidate and member in the late
80's. Duane/Quinn rode a gay/progressive coalition that dominated that district politically for many years.

But it ( the hand) might just as well be Bloomberg's. She's a different person than the person she was back then. People don't send that kind of cash w/o expecting a return on their investment.

I'm not supporting her.

5. I used to adore both Duanes, Tom and John.

But Tom also had a hand in the Saint Vincent's debacle.
