To keep doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is insane. And Al Vann's council woman Letitia James endorsement should give the voters even more pause. Letitia James is a Christine Quinn denfender, protector, and follower. So you know what that means... She'll vote for whatever Bloomberg wants! Now what does that say about Al Vann??? I really hope the voters play it smart and reject pay to play, favor for a favor plantation politics!

Firstly, he is running on Tuesday against Al Vann - so he is definitely not an 'unsuccessful' candidate. I encourage you to reword that sentence. Secondly, he is a long time neighborhood activist, who has long stood up for residents in need - he is not some political opportunist.
