"We would not want a cloud to hang over the race or its participants, and so we have decided to cancel it."
And also, I'm sure you're also very concerned about getting your people shelter and warmth, right?

Shorter (ha) Bloomberg:
Fine you pissant rabble. We'll cancel the race, but the runners are still going to kick you out of your hotels. Shelter that, you filthy peons.

I knew Bloomberg couldn't resist confiscating the runners org.'s generators.
I agree they should commandeer them for Staten Island, eg., but you know know he loves the whole idea.

I think what he feared was 10,000 Staten Islanders showing up at the starting line an taking all the food for themselves and causing a riot.
They would have and should have.

Ace, if Romney wins and R takes control of the Senate --- you are going on a much deserved vacation brother.
But let's continue to focus because the devilish shenanigans being prepared by the progressives is going to place this nation in a position heretofore never before imagined could occur. The election results are going to be jammed up and the left's already unhinged vocalizations against Romeny and its dehumanization of Republicans will be meleded into a diabolical harmony with the UN who will work in tandem with the progressives to deligitmize the electorate.
This is going to get real ugly. The foundation of which MSNBC, Media Matters, Center for American Progress, et al. have poured.
Pray for this country my friends.

Let them eat marathon.
Next, Bloomberg will order the word, "Bastille" stricken from all dictionaries.

Why don't the sponsors demand they do so?
Yankees, they are mighty strange people.
We call it selfless down here.

So they'll have a bunch of pissed off marathoners out there, taking up hotel rooms.
Brilliant.

"What a dick. Wait until it's too late for the marathoners to cancel their trips, THEN cancel the marathon.

I heard this news on the radio about an hour ago. I texted my two friends who are already there for the race (one from Seattle, one from Atlanta). I've only heard from the Atlanta friend. She didn't even know yet!
This decision should have been made at the latest on Wednesday. Total dickweed.

Brilliant move on the part of NYC administration to get most the cashflow out of the ING without actually HAVING the ING.
Still wonder if my original estimate of 15K to 20K runners running the course anyway holds up.
Posted by: David C. at November 02, 2012 06:07 PM (ZtMso)
Pshaw. He could have gotten more by asking the runners to donate the ticket money for relief. Just cowardly 'do nothing rash' leadership.

How can they get to the start? Is the ferry running yet? Last I heard, it wasn't. Not sure what the situation is on the Verrazano Bridge either.

No Problemo! The city can just reimburse the inconvenienced runners their expenses out of the city's Treasu -- ooooooooooh, I get it.
This year's Boston Marathon was so hot, race officials offered people guaranteed entry into next year's race. You still have to pay the race fee. You basically ate the cost of this year's registration plus airfare and possibly hotel (depending on hotel cancellation policy). I would assume they make a similar offer to this year's runners. The Boston Marathon offer was made days earlier than the cancellation of the NYC marathon.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that the only real Republican area of NY is absolutely getting the shaft.
Right?

The optics of runners defecting by taking the buses to SI then going off to do volunteer relief work that Bloomberg won't do didn't look so good I guess...

You are a f*cking cretin. The NYC resources that would have been diverted for the marathon are urgently needed for the disaster relief. I rather think the now-homeless families kicked out of hotels to make room for the marathon tourists disagree with you, too.

Been said many times, but one more time for the eeyores. There is no way in hell that bambi can win again. No. Way. I know I live in a red state, but it is almost impossible to find the voter willing to state they are voting bambi ...and I know some of them were part of the fooled last time. My pulled from thin air says that at least 1% that voted for him to "be a part of history" won't be doing it again, at least 1% that voted for him won't because the economy still sucks, and at least 1% o that voted for him because McCain sucked so bad won't. Romney wins Tuesday, and it would be an epic blow out if it were not for those that will still vote for the chocolate jesus simply based upon his skin color.
