Marty mayor bid? It's possible
NY Daily News
While there is no Marty for Mayor campaign yet, plenty of people are already talking about it.
"This could work for him," said political consultant Gerry O'Brien. "He has a real personality, which makes him stand out. ... When you see the usual kind of blow-dried, prepackaged candidate, people's eyes glaze over."
Since becoming borough president in 2001, Markowitz has become known as the borough's chief cheerleader.
But he also has taken on more serious projects, like being a consistent champion of developer Bruce Ratner's quest...
NoLandGrab: What the??? This is a good way to send feelers out through the press.
MESSAGE TO MARTY: More Brooklynites remember that if elected BP you promised not to seek higher office, than remember your promise to bring professional sports back to Brooklyn.
MESSAGE TO THE DAILY NEWS: Just because they send out a press release, doesn't mean you have to take it seriously.
