I'll just pre-inject that LearnNY, aka BloombergForEmperor2009 didn't appear to be there. How can one tell? Easy. Their parent shills are the ones who run out of gas 20 minutes in -- just like a week ago Sunday at the "Chaos is Coming" presser in E. Harlem. The crowd tonite was still shouting up a storm 1-1/2 hours in. I’ll leave it to the GS pros and others to report on the rally contents.

And this one was called on a few days notice with a lot of people out of town. But this is only the first step. You'll have plenty of oportunities as they are not going away. And Peter, your UFT was absent. Except for your lone rep who spent the entire time schmoozing with Micah Lasher. Another demo of which side you guys are on. Thompson, another supporter of mayoral control, has always been the UFT's guy. You're just setting him up for the big run in 2013. And here's another rally for the UFT to be absent from. The parents at PS 123 in Harlem are rallying at 1 PM on Tues over the Moskowitz break in. We'll be there. We'll miss you and kitchen sink.
