This just got dropped in my email box. You have to watch it (QT Video). If this guy wins the Manhattan Borough President job, he's really done something I think. I know nothing about NYC electoral politics, so I don't know what Mr. Ellner's chances are, but damn, this is one ballsy ad.
My sister lives in Manhattan, I'll have to get some more info when she gets back from taking her daughter to college. Or does someone out there have more info for me?

I live in New York but am on vacation now. I did notice Ellner in the online voter guide. http://nyccfb.info/debates_vg/voter_guides/primary_2005/cd_profile/BPM_Ellner_809.aspx
There are way too many people to keep track of in the race, but that is a powerful commercial. I saw some of the Mayor ones before I left and they wer the same old New York politics. Nice to see a new face and a more forceful message from the tired NY city Democrats.
