It's GGGGG-reat!

Seems like the NYC Mayor's race is heating up. First Bob Kerrey, a former Senator from the wonderful state of Nebraska (and a former potential VP and Prez candidate...) and current president of the New School talks smack on Bloomberg, then this, from Gifford Miller (speaker on the city council, and otherwise amusing guy) (from Hotline):


Gee, That's The Stupidest Idea Ever
Council Speaker Gifford Miller (D) spoke with New York Metro's Sargent on his campaign designed to appeal to what it has dubbed "Generation G." Miller, on Generation G: "It's not Generation X or Y. It's a broader group of young people, some of whom got into politics during the last presidential election and are looking to stay involved. ... Many young professionals aren't sending their kids to public schools. They get stuck on the subway because nobody's supporting the transit system. They're paying huge amounts for housing. A mayor can make a big difference on those, but Bloomberg says you can't solve problems. He'll say, It'll take a long time to reform schools. More Miller, on whether he is trying to turn his biggest liability into a strength: "Many cities have elected people in their thirties as mayor. ... But this is not just about my campaign. ... We need young people to value public service again" (4/18).


Now I don't know about you fellow campaign workers and activists, but Generation G sounds G-reat!!!!!!!!! Talk about a savvy media-man. He's got us young kids going. Generation G UNITE!!
