Christopher Brodeur

Jerry Skurnik, who keeps better track of this stuff than anyone else I know, emailed over some bits of analysis of the primary vote that caught his eye.

Here they are:

Either Ferrer & Weiner carried every Assembly District but 1.

Field won 70 AD (barely) over Ferrer. That's her home district. (And two others. Jerry corrects here.)

Miller came in 2nd in only 3 ADs - 65 & 73 (in his Council District) and 50 (Williamsburg-Greenpoint).

Christopher Brodeur finished 2nd in 72 AD (Washington Heights). He received 1,024 votes out of 9,860 cast. Ferrer received 6,596.

Norman Siegel won 3 ADs: 39 (Jackson Hts-Corona), 52 (Brooklyn Heights), 57 (Ft. Greene).  read more »

Joe Hynes won 12 ADs -- John Sampson won 9.

Scott Stringer won 4 ADs. Lopez, Moskowitz, Perkins & Espaillat each won 2.

Here's a test of the power of the vaunted web-based politics that put Howard Dean in the White House.

A bar owner named Harold has started a Meetup.com group called "Bloomberg Out of Town," or B.O.O.T., "devoted to taking back our city from the Bloomberg regime."  read more »

But Bloomberg hasn't inspired the kind of grass-roots opposition that loved to hate Giuliani, although there are a handful of ad-hoc smokers groups. And there's always Christopher Brodeur, whose new manifesto can be found here. Over at B.O.O.T., a quick review of the members shows the smoking ban is issue number one, though there's also a Brooklyn writer upset about the treatment of RNC protesters.

Thirty-eight members and counting!
