But heres the crucial question for voters as they head to the polls on Nov. 5. Would de Blasio -- big lead aside -- make a better mayor than his moderate Republican rival, Joe Lhota? We believe he would not. De Blasio, a political strategist by trade, has recently served as a city councilman and is currently New York Citys public advocate. Hes a liberal ideologue who knows how to weave a simple story from complex economic figures. Yet the subtext of his campaign is that the rich among us are prospering on the backs of the poor. Bronx-born Joe Lhota by contrast is a classic, plain-speaking New Yorker with deep roots in the working class of this city and an abiding faith in the strong machinery of upward mobility that has helped us reinvent ourselves time and again. Lhota knows -- from his own hard experience -- that the city must be run competently before it can serve its 8.4 million people with dignity and effectiveness. Joe Lhota is clearly the superior candidate.
