Queens for Giff

We hear Queens leader Tom Manton is backing Giff. Queens is the strongest county party in town, and while Freddy has made some inroads there lately, this is a real win for Miller. The Queens move also blows out of the water a particularly tempting (to us!) conspiracy theory that had been circulating around Manton, Freddy, Bronx leader Jose Rivera, Joe Crowley, and Hiram Monserate. Oh well.
