Home | News Briefs | U.S. | World | Celeb Buzz | Entertainment | Sports | Business | Health | Sci / Tech | Politics | Weird & Offbeat --- Advertisment --- First Debate In NY Mayoral Race No Game-Changer For City Comptroller October 14, 2009 1:27 p.m. EST --- Advertisment --- Kris Alingod - AHN Contributor New York, NY (AHN) - New York City Comptroller Bill Thompson aggressively attacked Mayor Michael Bloomberg in their first debate, hammering the independent incumbent about term limits and accusing him of buying votes. But the Democratic candidate failed to do anything else, according to pundits who say Thompson desperately needed a game changer against a billionaire rival. "Save for his accent, which carries the unmistakable cadence of his native Brooklyn, and for his insistent attacks on Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's flip-flop on term limits, Mr. Thompson, the city comptroller, resembled a painter who left too much of his canvas blank," the New York Times said. "He offered passionate words Tuesday night about the plight of middle-class New Yorkers,"the paper of record added. "But he offered no storehouse of stories of actual suffering to put meat on the bones of his attack. Instead Mr. Thompson concluded as he began, by doubling down on a single bet: term limits." The New York Post was disappointed with both candidates and called the debate "wasted" for not having addressed unemployment and pension costs. But it also said of the city comptroller, "An alert challenger less concerned with pandering would have asked, as Thompson did not, why, even in the recent boom years, the city's rate of job creation has been so far below the average of the last 30 years. And asked why so many of the jobs that have been created are either in low-end hospitality work or at city-subsidized health-care facilities." While Huffington Post editor Daniel Collins reflected, "Thompson really went after Bloomberg for violating the two-term limit... But it made no difference whatsoever. The real thing the debate proved is that the fact that Bloomberg wants to sneak an extra slice of the mayoral-tenure pie isn't enough to keep him from getting re-elected." "Nobody seems to think he can win. Including Barack Obama," Collins said, referring to an apparently tepid endorsement from the White House before explaining how a city filled with Democrats identify with their party with images of Obama, Hillary Clinton and Ted Kennedy -- and not "faceless hacks and inept legislators" at the local level. The New York Daily News, however, said Thompson did fare well enough to "look like a real contender [and] a guy who could win." The paper said the Democrat delivered the best line of the night - "At every level, it hasn't been about the people of New York City. It's been about you" - but it was a scathing statement from Bloomberg that has gotten the most attention. Thompson was responding to a question about his accomplishments as president of the New York City Board of Education, when the mayor quipped, "You don't get a medal for rearranging the deck chairs on the Titantic, that's exactly what he did." The 56-year-old African-American City Comptroller earlier that day received the backing of the Correction Officers Benevolent Association (COBA), the city's second-largest law enforcement union, bolstering his already strong support among unions. But he is being outspent by Bloomberg 16 to 1, and continues to trails in polls. A SurveyUSA poll released on Wednesday had him trailing the mayor in overall support 38 to 55 percent, down from an eight-point deficit only last week that was his best showing so far. A Quinnipiac University poll in September had put Thompson at 36 percent, and Bloomberg 52 percent. A Marist survey around the same time showed the mayor ahead by only nine points. Bloomberg, 67, is seeking an unprecedented third-term after successfully having the city's term limits law amended last year. He is a lifelong member of the Democratic party who won as a Republican in 2001 but became an Independent in 2007. He currently has a Democrat as a campaign manager -- Howard Wolfson, the former communications director of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign -- but has received the endorsement of the Independence Party and secured the Republican ballot line. The mayor had the backing of the COBA in 2005, as well as the endorsement of the the city's largest public employee union, District Council 37, but has been at odds with the union over layoffs and the use of private contractors. He lost the endorsement of DC37 to Thompson in August, a month after he also suffered a blow when the Working Families Party backed his rival. One of the world's richest men, Bloomberg doesn't have the endorsement of Obama, but seems to have his support. Pundits have remarked about how the President has singled out Bloomberg by name in his weekly address touting Republicans who support healthcare reform, and the way the White House announced its endorsement for Thompson. During a Friday briefing, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs was asked where the President's loyalties lie in the mayoral race. Gibbs had said, "The President is the leader of the Democratic Party, and as that, would support the Democratic nominee. The President obviously has had a chance to, throughout campaigning and in his time both as a candidate and as a President, to meet, know and work with Mayor Bloomberg, and obviously has a tremendous amount of respect for what he's done as well. He, as the leader of the Democratic Party, supports the Democratic nominee."
