One last clip from last night’s congestion pricing debate. Here's Richard Brodsky saying that if congestion pricing comes to pass before the 2009 mayoral elections, Anthony Weiner, who opposes it, will get elected. A partial transcript:

Brodsky:
I don’t think it’s going to become law. I do think it is going to elect Anthony Weiner as mayor of the city of New York.

Michael O’ Loughlin: Is that an endorsement?

Brodsky: It’s not an endorsement. It’s an observation.

Brodksy declined to elaborate on his comments after the event.

Among other likely mayoral candidates, Bill Thompson supports the plan, but has said he problems with it, and Christine Quinn is a strong supporter.
