500,000 to 700,000 expected to have voted in the race. only really hard-core, engaged voters turned out. that s the people who are following their local machines and those are the pooh who backed stringer. basically the stringer model is playing it safe, playing it traditional. in a campaign which is what it seemed to me that christine quinn campaign was. why didn t that work for her? well the difference is stringer had this sort of support across the board. christine quinn was kind of operating in this almost conservative wing of the new york city democratic party, allied with bloomberg. she had some establishment support coming from bloomberg but not across throughout the city elected establishment. so in the run-off de blasio/thompson run-off. what s the schedule for that? that would happen on october 1st. in the next couple days, if it is close enough to 40% we ll be looking at paper ballots and seeing if there are challenges.
