[TheBigA]

This subject has come up here several times. Once Curtis Sliwa becomes an official candidate, he is legally required to leave his radio show. However, apparently he is now using his radio show to solicit signatures for his campaign petition:

Also the owner of WABC Radio is allegedly planning to run for office too. He's going to have to sell WABC-AM to another party if that's really the case.

Not sell, but put it into a trust. That's what Bloomberg did when he ran for mayor.

Maybe

True it's just that some of these people don't understand the difference between ranting on TV and Radio vs. actually making or enforcing effective policies that are good in the long term.

Catsimatidis won't join Democratic race for mayor

He has still not ruled out a run for mayor altogether, saying he may seek to run on the Liberal Party ballot line.

Apparently the owner of WABC was going to run for office as a democrat.

Curtis was a guest on Fox News today:

He promises no more crime if elected. He likely doesn't include white collar crime.

WABC lineup changes due to Silwa running for office and Cats reportedly running for office too.

So how soon do you predict Curtis will be back on WABC now that he lost the race? He was certainly very eager to get on the radio during his campaign, even rushing to do a radio interview despite getting hit by a taxi and breaking his arm.

Considering how unpopular he proved to be in the market as revealed by the election results where he lost by an embarrassing 38 points, I expect he'll return to WABC immediately where he'll be the ideal fit for such an unpopular station.

The interesting thing to me is he didn't lose simply because he was a Republican. Other Republicans with other backgrounds somehow managed to win city council races. I think a lot of New Yorkers are just tired of him.

Not to mention that a Republican was elected Borough President of Staten Island.
