in case he can't stay & be the big dawg-
from the NY Times
Struggling to choose a new mayor precisely two weeks after a terrorist jet attack devastated the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan, New York City Democrats yesterday apparently extended the primary contest an additional 16 days by sending two candidates, Mark Green and Fernando Ferrer, into a runoff for their party's nomination, according to a survey of voters leaving the polls.
There was no ambiguity on the Republican side, according to the survey. Michael R. Bloomberg, the billionaire communications entrepreneur, apparently trounced his opponent, Herman Badillo, to become the Republican mayoral candidate in the general election on Nov. 6.
