De Blasio and Liu Win in N.Y. Democratic Runoffs

NYT article by By JULIE BOSMAN and KAREEM FAHIM (photo by Michelle V. Agins/The New York Times).

Money quote:

The decisive showings by Mr. de Blasio and Mr. Liu were also a victory for the Working Families Party, the labor-backed group that endorsed both candidates and that mobilized its formidable field operation to turn out voters on a day when most polling sites were largely empty.

And both Mr. Liu and Mr. de Blasio, unlike their opponents, were vocal critics of Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg’s successful effort to persuade the City Council to amend the term limits law so he could run for a third term.

Me love WFP.
OK, now I can go back to wine making and navel gazing.
