Geezus effing cripes! Less than 13,000 people decided this race? That's effed up. There's 25,000 people in Stuy-Town/Peter Cooper alone!

What is most depressing to me was the fact that the other two candidates were so sorely underfunded that I had not heard of them until yesterday.

Which begs the question : Why are the Latino and the Asian candidates so underfunded?

No offense to Kavanagh. Nice guy. But I would have loved to hear from Ms. Yang and Mr. Pagan. Given that Loisaida is such a colored district (albeit of the the lighter melanin kind); it sucks I still have to state the obvious.

Brian Kavanagh

versus

Sylvia Friedman

Who knew a seat on the State Assembly was so sexy.

I've been bombarded with recorded phone calls from Steve Sanders and Eva Moskowitz (urgh, Eva), flyers under my doors and campaign stalkers, I mean, volunteers going on and on about Brian's work.

Yes, I get it, Brian is going to be great.

Yes, I voted for him.

Now leave me alone, will ya!

Tsk, tsk people!

Not one candidate has come knock-knock-knockin' on my door. Where's Sylvia Friedman? Where's Kavanagh?

Ok, ok. I did see Ms. Friedman once on 16th street. Brian Kavanagh was recently in front of my neighborhood supermarket pressing the flesh. Ok ... he's actually been everywhere. It seems like I see him all around the East Village campaigning.

So here's Brian in his own words ...

There is a whole process to vlogging that I find totally unsatisfying. I hate editing and I hate compressing files for better streaming because it takes too long and I want to put thing up on the web NOW! The upside of editing and going through frames is that you get to crack yourself up with the body language of your subjects.

Case in point : I could spend hours watching Christine Quinn talk ... with the volume off. Check her out. She looks like she's singing --although I suggest she get a voice coach because she strains her voice during speeches. Girlfriend, breathe!

Then it's not even anything they're doing.

I happen to like the camera perspective on these photos
of Sylvia Friedman and Al Doyle.

And then, there is Mark Green...

More after the jump.
