NYC Mayoral Primary: Ferrer Wins Plurality...
... but falls just short of the 40 percent necessary to avoid a runoff
The results, with all precincts reporting, show former Bronx President Freddy Ferrer receiving 39.95 percent of the vote (182,273 votes) to 28.82 percent for Congressman Anthony Weiner (131,476 votes), meaning that there just might be a runoff for the Democratic mayoral nomination. Though Ferrer has picked up some key support as of late -- most notably from Al Sharpton -- Weiner seems to have some momentum. Endorsements of the other candidates will likely play a role in the runoff, but be prepared to watch a heck of a campaign in the coming weeks.
