Republican mayoral hopeful Joe Lhota's commanding lead over John Catsimatidis among likely primary voters is driven by an electorate that considers Lhota an experienced candidate who can keep them safe and get things done, an amNewYork-News12 poll found.

Half of those surveyed said they'd vote for Lhota, a former Giuliani administration deputy mayor and head of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and 28 percent back Catsimatidis, a billionaire grocery and oil magnate. Fifteen percent were undecided.

Those wanting a candidate who could get things done preferred Lhota 66 percent to 27 percent, and those deciding mainly based on experience chose Lhota by 83 percent to 16 percent.

1. I used to work for Lhota; I've been to Catsamatides' apartment...

...neither can win in November UNLESS the two Democrats in the runoff beat each other up so much in their desire to win that they can't rebuild Party unity...which is what has happened for the past five elections.
