Bloomberg Wins By Much Smaller Margin Than Expected

And the pundits are saying all kinds of things, including:

–If Bill Thompson had been able to articulate his vision for New York maybe he could have beat the billionaire mayor.

–If President Obama had endorsed Thompson more directly or even made an appearance with him that could have made all the difference.

Bloomberg won with 557,059 votes to Thompson's 506,717. That's 51% of the vote to 46%. Very close.

I would claim that if Obama *didn’t* endorse Thompson, that may have given him the edge.
