As, as one activist noted: "It would do Bill Thompson a big favor, getting Adolfo out of the way for the '09 mayoral race." Thompson, a Democrat who must leave his current post by 2008 under the city term limits law, is known to be interested in succeeding Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Stranger things have happened. Then again, more normal things have happened too...
