The Katz campaign seems to be making a very deliberate effort to

This is pretty remarkable for a city-wide campaign to have all these endorsements so early.
I agree, not only is she the frontrunner, but at this pace she won't even have a funoff next September.
I don't think this will be a competitive campaign. I can't see Weprin, Yassky, Carrion or Brennan standing any chance against Katz.
The real race will be for Mayor - if Katz keeps this up it will be a cakewalk for her.
It would be competitive if the voters checked out what the candidates have done or have not done before they voted. In this case start talking and listening to people who live in Queens.
