On Sunday Joe Lhota accused his rival Bill de Blasio of not having the "physical wherewithal to be the mayor" because de Blasio is "not a morning person." Will this new sleep schedule attack help Lhota overcome de Blasio's 65 percent lead in the polls?

Joe Lhota’s campaign just released a “funny” list of Bill de Blasio’s possible Halloween costumes. So if you see a tax collector, a toll collector, a slumlord, a ghost, Silent Bob, or Tom Brady trick-or-treating tonight, it's most likely Bill de Blasio.

The third and final mayoral debate took place Wednesday and, like the first and second debate, nothing really happened. At least nothing notable enough to damage Democratic candidate Bill de Blasio’s 39-point lead in the polls.

Joe Lhota’s family spent Wednesday campaigning at the Arrochar Friendship Club in Staten Island where elderly white people complained about Bill de Blasio using the “race card.” Lhota himself did not attend because he was busy preparing for tonight’s final debate at 7 p.m. EST. Watch live here.

A New York Times reporter discovered that Bill de Blasio tweeted a year ago about dropping off his daughter Chiara at Santa Clara University for her freshman year. De Blasio’s campaign manager Bill Hyers responded: “I thought the @nytimes had some class.” Feud!

Chiara de Blasio, the daughter of New York City mayoral candidate Bill de Blasio, is a college sophomore at a school in California. She’s also the subject of dozens of profiles and the star of a well-received campaign ad for her father. Given her recent prominence, we were curious about which school she is attending. Nobody will say.

Mayoral candidates Bill de Blasio and Joe Lhota believe that their final debate Tuesday should be rescheduled because it will take place on the anniversary of Hurricane Sandy hitting New York. "We need to remember," Lhota said. "I think it's very, very important to do that."

In Tuesday night’s mayoral debate, Republican candidate Joe Lhota resorted to loud voices, eye rolls, and Rudy Giuliani-worship to prove that he deserves to be mayor of New York City. On the other side of the stage, Democratic candidate Bill de Blasio called out Lhota’s campaign for “race-baiting,” then stepped back watched Lhota self-destruct.

New York City mayoral candidate Bill de Blasio’s lead has fallen six points in the last three weeks. Now his Republican opponent Joe Lhota is only 44 points behind. Watch the candidates square off in tonight’s debate here.

With less than a month before New York City chooses its next mayor, Republican candidate and non-frontrunner Joe Lhota has begun airing attack ads portraying opponent (and Democrat) Bill de Blasio as so soft on crime—indeed, very possibly pro-crime, because why not?—that his election would deliver Gotham to its dark, stormy, vaguely apocalyptic perdition. Case in point:

The majority of Tuesday night’s mayoral debate between Bill de Blasio and Joe Lhota was spent covering the usual topics: charter schools, taxes, small businesses, well-paying jobs, the income gap, and stop and frisk policies. Both candidates even agreed on the importance of building more affordable housing in the city.

New York City mayoral candidates Bill de Blasio and Joe Lhota face off in their first broadcast debate at 7 p.m. EST. You can watch live footage of de Blasio’s lead widen here.

In The New York Times’s study of Bill de Blasio’s upbringing—which culminated, at the age of 18, with his father’s violent suicide—the paper reveals that the parents of the Democratic candidate for New York City mayor came under suspicion of sympathizing with Communists:

On Monday Bill de Blasio, the Democratic candidate for New York City mayor, mourned the death of the former Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Israel, prominent Jewish activist, and avowed racist Ovadia Yosef—whom Jeffrey Goldberg called the “Israeli Ayatollah”—by praising Yosef’s “wisdom, charity and sensitivity” as “legendary.” According to The Yeshiva World, de Blasio (appearing in the video above) refused to back down during a Manhattan fundraiser on Wednesday.

New York City mayoral candidate Bill de Blasio answered a bunch of questions on Reddit pertaining to his son’s hair, a Montana biking trip, and the best pizza in New York: Di Fara Pizzeria in Midwood. (De Blasio also clarified his positions on various municipal policies.)

Today Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, the former Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Israel and controversial orthodox Jewish activist, died at the age of 93 in Jerusalem. As one of Israel’s most prominent religious figures, Yosef frequently ran into trouble for his avid racism. He once claimed, for example, that Hurricane Katrina was black people’s divine punishment for not studying the Torah. That didn’t stop Bill de Blasio, currently the front-runner in New York City’s mayoral race, from praising his legacy.

With one month left before New York City elects its next mayor, Democrat Bill de Blasio has achieved a fifty-point lead over Republican Joe Lhota. As the pollsters at Quinnipiac University put it: “Bill de Blasio's landslide is picking up speed in the New York City mayoral race and threatens to bury Republican Joseph Lhota 71 - 21 percent among likely voters.”

A tipster writes in to correct our earlier post featuring (what we thought was) a GIF of Bill de Blasio attempting to break dance in 1994, saying "the Times was wrong, it's actually his college roommate. He does dance later in the video, and we made you a new gif of that."

"Bill de Blasio has little in common with the real far left, acccording to NYC's only socialist candidate for mayor."
