I never get too excited about any position - bec. even supposing De Blasio is a "good guy" and I don't know about him -
they are always hemmed in by the system, which is why electoral politics is something I don't spend much time thinking about.

I remember when I was in Houston people got all excited bec. Houston got its first African-American police chief. I wasn't excited. I knew that anyone - in order to get to that position - has a set of values that I do not agree with. And he was as bad as any other police chief.
