Howard Jordan, host of WBAI-FM's The Jordan Journal, discusses the recent NYC Democratic Party primary elections with Angelo Falcón, President of the National Institute for Latino Policy (NILP).
Why did Bill de Blasio win the Democratic Primary? The weaknesses in the Quinn and Thompson campaigns? Are elections in the city now "post-racial"? Were Weiner, Vito Lopez, and Spitzer losses the result of "the aversion to perversion"? The election of the first Mexican American to the New York City Council? Are Councilmembers Melissa Mark Viverito or Inez Dickens possible successors to speaker Quinn? Two openly gay Latino candidates elected in the so-called "socially conservative" Latino community? What are the mayoral prospects of former Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion on the Independence Party Line?
These issues and more on The Jordan Journal, which airs on Fridays from 3-4 p.m. on WBAI 99.5 FM. (To all listeners: on October 4th we will be fundraising for WBAI and listeners are encouraged to consider making a Tax deductible contribution. )
