How disappointing to hear that "The Naked Cowboy" — Robert Burk has dropped out of the Mayoral race. Mr. Burk created his own job, has a 100 percent attendance record, works full time, has no political ambitions for higher public office, accepts no campaign contributions from pay-for-play special interest groups and clearly has nothing to hid.
There is still more to the primary and run off day election results. Unless you’ve been living in a cave all summer, between campaign mailings, newspaper ads, radio and television commercials, debates along with articles and editorials along with other weekly and daily newspapers, everyone knew there was a NYC primary election. With 3,200,000 registered Democrats, only 10% or 351,000 voted in the primary and even less in the run off. 90% or 2,849,000 stayed home making "None of the Above" the real winner. Bill Thompson (Mayor); John Lui (Comptroller); Bill DeBlasio (Public Advocate) all failed to close the deal with voters on the merits of their respective candidacies. Too bad that Republicans other than nominating Bloomberg, are running totally unknown candidates for both Comptroller and Public Advocate. GOP candidates Joe Mendola for Comptroller and Alex Zablocki for Public Advocate lack the millions of dollars necessary to run competitive contests and offer voters a choice in the November General Elections. The Naked Cowboy has more name recogniztion than many of the so called experienced candidates!
It’s too bad that he didn’t run for City Comptroller, Public Advocate, Borough President or City Council. He would stand head and shoulders above those useless incumbent public officials or wannabe successors and would clearly do a better job.
