Two weeks ago, 40,000 votes were cast, and Bill de Blasio got 31 total votes, which is so funny and pathetic I have to mention it again, ha ha!

In that straw poll I featured an expanded slate of 14 candidates, and only five hit the 2% threshold for guaranteed future inclusion. And even those 14 were significantly fewer than the 24 who think they are running! In practical terms, this isn’t that big a primary field, and it’ll be nice when we finally have debates that reflect that reality. In any case, let’s vote!
