When Michael Bloomberg was first elected, I didn’t mind him. He was kind of Republican Lite Dem turned Republican. But slowly I have grown to hate him. Many things added up to turn me against him–his calling us protesters “terrorists,” his persecution of Critical Mass, his trying to buy the election. But overall it was his dictatorial style. By contrast, I find Freddy Ferrer (who I have met a few times) friendly and willing to listen to people. He has a more grassroots approach and voters who he meets directly respond warmly to him.
