I don't believe the mayor would be that kind of an ingrate or a hypocrite.

Most people will neither appreciate nor even take a note of a simple person’s good work, but if he trips in his effort then those only will be the first to take out an old note of his words to point out his faults.

BEFRIEND, v.t. To make an ingrate.

We all had a consensus on who was going to be mayor. But for the Place 2 vacancy, I believe it could have been filled simultaneously and with less animosity.

The only pledge I'd believe is, if either one or both of them said, 'I'm going to be mayor in 2007 and, if the MTA has a deficit, I'll fill it with city money,'

If you look at the polls, you'd have to say, the mayor is likely to win. I don't believe in polls, but a lot of Democrats are saying, 'It's over.' I know Freddy is not saying that, and I'm not saying that. You just have to hold out hope.
