Now that former Councilwoman Helen Sears has ended her weekend as a Republican, the Special Election to replace former State Senator Hiram Monserrate is down to 2 candidates.
Assemblyman Jose Peralta has the Democratic & Working Families lines while Hiram is the candidate of the Yes We Can party.
Most observers think the support of Peralta by the Democratic organization, various unions plus Hiram's bad deeds make Peralta the favorite.
But I wouldn't be so sure.
Special Elections are low turnout affairs and they usually come down to which candidate has the best "pulling"operation.
And we have visual proof that Hiram has a reall skill at this. Nobody does a better job of dragging voters out of their homes!
