NEW YORK - Democrats who saw how close their candidate came to unseating New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg agonized Wednesday about what might have happened if the national party had not abandoned the party's little-known challenger.
Bloomberg, who was running on the Republican line but is not in a party, outspent and outcampaigned city Comptroller William Thompson Jr. Still, Thompson managed to get within five points of the billionaire incumbent despite getting no help from the Democratic National Committee or the party's leaders, who stayed silent about the race for City Hall in the nation's largest city.
