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.

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.
