DAY FIFTY SEVEN (part II):Nov. 6:
It's one in the morning and Michael Bloomberg, personal net worth in excess of $4billion, has ben declared the victor in the New York City mayoral elections. He takes 51% of the vote, versus 49% for Mark Green. Flanked on stage by fellow Republicans, Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Gov. George Pataki, Bloomberg says, "We suffered a terrible tragedy on Sept. 11th, and we just are not going to let the terrorist beat us. New York is alive and well and open for business. What we have to do now is put aside any divisions....We are clearly going to have enormous problems, but I know that we are up to the task. We can do it."
"It's not important who's in the party, it's who's at the party," Bloomberg concluded. "Thank you so much, I will not let you down!"
Bloomberg, a divorced father of two, is noteably a politician, giving an acceptance speech, without spouse on stage at his side. The electorate knows little about his two daughters, one of whom has been an active campaigner for her dad and stands now on the stage while her father thanks his supporters.
Now New York's future is in the hands of two liberal Democrat Senators, and Republican Govenor and Mayor.
Well, New York, you have chosen. Now w shall learn just who this Michael Bloomberg, one of the richest men in the entire world, actually is.
