Rev Billy prophetic: Reports say Bloomberg spent $102 million dollars

On election day, November 3, 2009, a whimsical post appeared at the Reverend Billy for Mayor of NYC website.

Thompson’s official numbers come out Monday, but an aide said he spent about $8.3 million – or about $15.51 per vote. That would mean Bloomberg outspent Thompson by about 12 to 1…

There’s a mixed message in the bang Bloomberg got for his buck this year after angering some voters by pushing the City Council to overturn the two-term limit for mayors, said Prof. David Birdsell of Baruch College.

Although it may be “bad for democracy” to have one candidate with so much more financial firepower than any rival, he said, the slim margin suggests there’s “hope for people who can run tough, effective campaigns to exploit the weaknesses of even extraordinarily well-financed candidates.”…
