DeBlasio's acceptance speech versus Christie's is like night and day...

After hearing Christie's "Me-me-me" speech, DeBlasio's "We-we-we" speech is like a breath of fresh air.

Don't tell me that there's no diff between Dems and GOPers.

As a person of girth myself, not so much running maybe a walk with a lot of stops on the way to catch a breath...

.....said that Christie needs a world-class speech writer if he hopes to go higher. Called his speech "self-referential".

Glad you're here - and congratulations! You did well! Maybe all of America did well. Big Democratic win in the biggest city in the country. As resoundingly as can be imagined. Take THAT, GOP.

Big media can't spin away DeBlasio's victory so I'm guessing they'll simply ignore it.

A lout and a bully. But then again, I was never an enthusiast of "in-yer-face."

nobody can tell me that MSNBC is in the tank for Democrats after the constant BJs they've been giving CC ever since Hurricane Sandy. It's as if everyone there forgot about his messed up agenda outside of working with Obama.
