As front runner Christine Quinn still keeps losing momentum, Anthony Weiner is poised to enter the Democratic primary for mayor. Weiner is expected to make an announcement early next week that he is indeed running for mayor.
Public Advocate Bill Deblasio has received the endorsement of the powerhouse union local 1199-SEIU that represents over 200,000 health care workers. This is seen as a big blow to Speaker Quinn, and Bill Thompson who was endorsed four years ago by the union.
Labor in general should be split among the top three or even four candidates for mayor, and no one thinks that any Democratic candidate can reach the 40 % win level to avoid a run off election that the Board of Elections has said it would not be able to handle properly.
