With the race for mayor still almost two years away former Mayor Ed Koch has come out and endorsed Christine Quinn to be the next mayor to be elected in 2013 that is according to the Daily News .
.
The story says that Quinn was not Koch's first choice, but when Police Commissioner Ray Kelly told Koch that he was not going to run for mayor in 2013 Koch chose Quinn. Koch said that Quinn's philosophy is similar to his when he was mayor, and that of the Bloomberg administration. Koch said that the other rumored candidates are too liberal, that being DeBlassio, Liu, Stringer, and Thompson. Quin is a "center to left liberal", or "a liberal with sanity" he added.
Political pundits say that the Koch endorsement may help Quinn among Orthodox Jewish voters. This may be the first Democrat endorsement in a while for Koch, and we wonder when the Orthodox Jewish voters get wind of Quinn's lifestyle just how many will wind up voting for her. Also could this be the quid-pro-quo for the Ed Koch bridge naming?
