50. Happens all the time. I don't blame him.

The NYC Democratic party had reached a level of corruption that many were loathe to associate with it. I care more about liberal social values than party loyalty. That's why people like Bloomberg in NYC and Dick Riordan in LA get elected to run those cities. Social liberals with business acumen. Not a bad combination for a big city mayor.
