Bloomberg's Narrow Win?
MSNBC has retracted its call of the New York City mayor's race, but The New York Times is still calling it for Bloomberg.
With 89 percent of precincts in, Bloomberg is up just 49.9 percent to Thompson's 46.7 percent.
Obviously the race might have gone differently if Bloomberg hadn't outspent Thompson 14-to-1. But, for all the talk about referenda on Obama -- might the Democrats have pulled this one out if the president had campaigned for Thompson?
GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
