I listened to the first half hour of Tuesday night's debate between NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg and mayoral candidate City Comptroller William Thompson on WNYC. 

"What
are you doing here, Mike? We voted for term limits!" On the radio it sounded like it was quite a ruckus.

Turns out it was Green Party Candidate for Mayor Rev. Billy Talen.

Talen was not speaking from the stage, but from the fifth row in the
audience. Though Talen will appear on the ballot in November along with
six other candidates for Mayor he was not invited to participate in the debate. Only Mike Bloomberg and Democratic nominee Bill Thompson were allowed to participate in the one hour debate.

According to Talen: "the missing voice tonight
was the voice of New York City's neighborhoods, which Bloomberg and the
Democrats have victimized in their lust for the bubble-based economies
of tourism, chain stores and Wall Street. We will not forget about
Bloomberg's dismissal of term limits. He cannot spend enough to erase
Democracy."
