New York Times Describes New York City’s First 2009 General Election Mayoral Debate

The New York Times has a very comprehensive account of the first general election Mayoral debate in New York city this year. Read from the bottom up. Only candidates who had raised at least $50,000 were invited to debate, so only Mayor Bloomberg and the Democratic nominee, Bill Thompson, were invited. The article says that Green Party nominee Billy Talen heckled the Mayor, and a commenter says Talen was then ejected. The commenter says two supporters of Francesca Villar, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, were also ejected.
