The Mayor’s Race in New York

By October 12^th, William Bratton has to decide whether he wants to register as a Republican. A fairly private decision for the former police chief, you might think. While the senatorial battle between Hillary Growton and Rick Lazio (1) _______________ (to rage on), Mr Bratton, who (2) _______________ (to help) the mayor to cut crime sharply, (3) ________________ (to be) a powerful candidate.

Another candidate is Mr Green, who lately (4) _______________ (to move) to the center, pledging to continue most of the former crime-busting methods. Mr Green (5) ________________ (to become) mayor automatically in January last year (________) Mr Giuliani (6) _______________ (to continue) his Senate campaign and (7) _______________ (to defeat) his opponents.

Mr Green’s closest challenger should be another Democrat, Pete Vallone, leader of the city council. He claims much of the credit for improving policing, better treatment of the homeless and tax cuts.

The other democrats also (8) _______________ (to run) for position:
Allan Hevesi, the city’s comptroller, and Freddie Ferrer, the Bronx borough president.

The Republicans hope that Mr Green, or less plausibly, Mr Ferrer (9) _______________ (to win) the Democratic primary, they also (10) ________________ (to be pleased) if Mr Hevesi (11) ______________ (to run) as the Liberal Party candidate. Cynics say the mayor (12) _______________ (to prefer) a Democrat to win, as that (13) _______________ (to make) it easy for him to run again in the next election.

And then there is Mr Bratton. On paper he (14) _______________ (to be) the natural candidate to revive morale in the city’s police force, though he (15) _______________ (to need) to convince voters that he (16) _______________ (can/change) the city’s schools as well. Even if he (17) _______________ (to miss) the October 12^th deadline, he (18) _______________ (can/take) part in the Republican primary at the discretion of three of the five borough party bosses.

There are some possible wild-card contenders. Geraldo Rivere, a sometimes sensationalist television journalist, (19) _______________ (to wonder) whether to run as an independent. He (20) _______________ (to win) plenty of Hispanic votes. Also rumored (21) _______________ (to consider) a run, probably as a Republican, is Michael Bloomberg, the head of a media company. He (22) _______________ (to bring) businessman’s common sense to the job. But although Americans sometimes elect politically untested tycoons as legislators, they rarely entrust them with an executive role.
