Isac's Predictions for Tuesday
By Azi Paybarah
City Hall gadfly (and by-the-way Department of Transportation employee) Isac Weinberger has some predictions for Tuesday’s elections.
“On Tuesday, we might not win the State Senate, and Obama will win by 51 percent," he said. "It won’t be that overwhelming, but it will be good in the electoral votes.”
Weinberger said Obama’s narrow victory will give Hillary Clinton some prospective leverage, if she wants it.
“If Obama wins only slightly, like by two points, she could say, ‘If I would have run, I could have had 65 points.’ If Obama wins overwhelmingly, she doesn’t have that to say,” he said.
