‘Let’s Not Get Intoxicated About the Polls’: Bill de Blasio Holds a Big Rally
By Colin Campbell
Far ahead in the polls as Tuesday’s Democratic mayoral primary looms, Bill de Blasio amassed the troops today for a gigantic get-out-the-vote rally.
At times, it felt like a victory party for the city’s public advocate, who once trailed his opponents but is now reveling in his new front-runner status.
“This campaign, like every good cause, started humbly and we worked really, really hard,” Mr. de Blasio reflected, standing on the steps of Brooklyn Borough Hall. “I give people in this crowd a lot of credit. There were many days when the polls weren’t so great, when you couldn’t get our message across; we’d put out a press release, no one printed it. We’ve had those days.”
“But when you believe in something, that doesn’t stop you. That doesn’t bother you. You just work harder. You just believe that when the message gets out there, people will feel it,” he said.
