John Liu: Victory

This guy could be Mayor in four years. He is going to be the same age as JFK was when he became president. The point being, he is not going to be too young. I think it is a choice between four and 12 years. I would recommend four. Like JFK once said, "They will forget me, others will come along."

• John Liu Has Me Excited
• NYC Local Races

This guy has had me excited. For the first time in New York history, thanks to him, Chinatown now finally has an Asian American on the city council, a long time coming.

He completes the Blac equation for me, Blac as in Black, Latino, Asian coalition. John's victory has been an Obama moment for New York City. Barriers have been broken.

• Jupiter And Obama
• Sotamayor's Nomination As Historic As Barack's Election, Maybe More So

Barack Obama gets compared to JFK often. But John actually shares JFK's name. Rumor has it he was named after JFK. Did he have hippy parents?
