Have you guys figured out who you're voting for for mayor next week? I've never been so unimpressed by a group of candidates and am completely undecided.

I'm a bit undecided as well. I need to do more research. I saw one debate and I can go a bit off of that, but I want to see their histories of what they've done first.
The diverse cast of characters does make me smile. A lesbian, a Taiwanese immigrant, a Black man, a Jewish peen-shower with a Muslim wife, a White dude with a Black wife...

I can't handle him pimping out his son so much. "Oh, hey! It's my BLACK son with his huge Afro. Did I mention my son is BLACK? Right here, this kid!"
Can't vote out here in the 'burbs, but is it just me or does his son look like he's blind or something? There are just particular facial expressions he makes that seriously make me wonder if he's blind. He apparently is not from what I understand.
orriskitten, I just found this site that is very clear in its snapshots of each candidate and his/her stances, past accomplishments, endorsements, and promises. www.votersfriend.com/
I was too stressed about my indecisiveness about the mayoral race and ignorance about the other positions' candidates (Public Advocate?) to sleep. #hopelesspoliticalnerd

Thanks for this. I just don't agree with any of the candidates so I may not even cast a vote for mayor. DeBlasio seems to agree with Bloomberg on the "policing" ny-ers like with the stupid sugar ban. Also, should I believe the commercial that most of his endorsement money is from building developers? because i have a big problem with that! Quinn lost me on her big idea "Ensure that no New Yorker has to spend more than one hour commuting in either direction by 2023." Really?? There are so many greater issues! Blah!
I'm going with De Blasio. His talk of making NYC accessible for more people (wealth wise) really resonates with me. Everywhere I look I see massive gentrification and the middle class being pushed out and it really bothers me.

My new district must not have a lot of primary voters. There was only one machine and no line. Though I voted in my old district for the last election so maybe this one is just smaller.
