Helping Quinn, The Next Mayor

Also in the paper is a look at one of the guys who wants to make Christine Quinn the next mayor of New York City: Bernard Whitman, a guy that helped elect Bill Clinton to a second presidential term when he was at the polling-industry titan, Penn,  Schoen & Berland.

“My hope is that she will run, as I think she would make a fantastic Mayor, and I would do anything I could to help if she does,” said Whitman, now the president of his own company in Chelsea.

And getting Quinn into the mayor’s office is the least NYC can do, considering the glass ceilings Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton are breaking.

“And New York, in many respects, being the largest, and oftentimes being thought of as a progressive city—we’re behind the times,” he said.
