if you're not for chris quinn now, why all of a sudden are you going to be for her is the question. >hael bloomberg waited for the last minute endorse in the presidential campaign. does he show up at the last minute in this shsome way? >> the question is what his endorsement will mean at a moment when the city -- >> could hurt. >> yes, exactly. as popular as he has been, some of his moves most recently have not been so popular and also there is this kind of coming off of just all of this craziness. i think that somebody who comes in looking half-way fresh is going to have an advantage. >> feels like a certain smallness to this race though doesn't it after these rudy giulianis and michael bloombergs. all of a sudden this has been just such a "eh" campaign. >> the race for controller thanks to elliott spiiot spitze getting a relevance it's never had before. >> controversy out west in san diego, bob filner. we're learning that today there will be another news conference, another woman said to be coming forward accusing the mayor of sexual inappropriate behavior. this is a great grandmoth

>> you know, chris quinn is currently the front-runner through her name recognition, but, you know, these the runoff when it comes down to sort of the top two people you may see the opposition consolidate against her and has this national buzz, would be the first woman mayor and also a high-powered consulting firm that also represents sandra fluke, so all these things mean she does get national figures like sandra, like edie windsor but the polls right now are showing if she's in a runoff against anyone but weiner she's in trouble. >> one of her problems in a way she has too much experience in the sense that she's been in city hall for so long, she's got a lot of things on her record there that aren't easy to answer on a debate stage and it seems to me someone like sandra fluke elevates her beyond that that's whey think the advantage of the fluke endorsement is it's not about city hall. it's not about, you know, what did christine quinn do to help bloomberg to be able run for a third term. none of that is present in that kind of endorsement. >> you're totally right and when i talk about t

what is interesting for chris quinn, assuming she'll be one of the two finalist and possibly in the leadimary, she's going to have to as will bill thompson or deblaggio will talk about the issues. it's easy to beat up on anthony weiner. >> only a few more weeks of weiner bashing. >> and then you have to talk about rent control again. the thing that was a very bland campaign until weiner was caught with his pants down -- >> weiner, he's probably still doing it. he clearly thinks it doesn't make a difference. maybe it doesn't. >> and i don't -- you know, he's -- he is shameless. he doesn't have the self-censorship that people have in real life, let alone in politics. >> no and it's unhinged like a jerry louis movie play for keeps. >> let's talk about barack obama. he appeared on jay leno. when he appears on leno he gets hammered by the more serious political press. i watched it and thought it was enlightening. he answered the same questions if he was doing cbs or nightly news. does the matter the form he chooses? >> absolutely not. that said, this has been going on a couple decades since t

if he can get himself up over 50%, over 60% among black voters, i think he makes a real run at chris quinn for that second runoff spot. >> kelly, i want to ask you since you covered anthony weiner, we haven't mentioned his name until now for so long when he was in congress, just some of your thoughts as you've witnessed the way this has played out. the thinking was that even if he couldn't get all the way back to win, this would give him a good, firm footing for a future campaign. doesn't look like it's helping him that way. >> while he has hung in there and continues to go to events on a daily basis and has made the argument to be new york city mayor you've got to be tough and resilient and come back, the question really is when you look at 11% support, people may really be at a point where they understand what the issues were and they just don't want to have him sort of in their living rooms. it is one of those things that's such a short final stretch. no real reason to get out at this point but certainly the rehabilitation that we might have seen really does not appear to be developing,

a farmer created a corn maze showing images of chris christie and barbara quinn, both candidate for governor. and that is your morning dish of scrambled politics. >>> it's been five decades since martin luther king jr. gave his legendary speech. starting this week, people from all over will gather to celebrate. melissa mollet is in washington with the latest. >> reporter: good morning. nice to see you. that's right, this really has been in the works for years. now the count on is on dozens of events planned for this weekend and into next week here in washington. two major marches rallied as crews continued to prepare the area by the lincoln memorial. that's where hundreds of thousands gathered for the march 50 years ago. renovations to the mlk memorial done just in time for the festivities. the president is set to honor the anniversary on the very steps where he stood in 1963. the main commemoration will take place this saturday. tens of thousands of people expected to travel from all over the country to rally at the lincoln memorial. >> melissa mollett in washington, thanks very much for th

trust christine quinn because i think she's going to carry on the anti-nightlife stance that the bloomberg administration and giuliani administration before him started and she was on chris smoking ban and how great that was and -- >> stephanie: you know, it's interesting. i know you have a specific point of view because you own a bar but you know, i have to say, smoking is a pretty -- it is a pretty well-known health threat. i have to say i'm kind of bloomberg's side on that one. >> what else -- what are the anti-night laws? what else is happening? >> bloomberg wants to close the bars down at 2:00 a.m. he tried doing that in his first term. we had to fight him. new york nightlife association. and there's all sorts of -- >> that's what i mean. that's terrible. >> you know, he doesn't make our life easy at all. you know. they don't -- you know what? i don't smoke cigarettes and i'm happy that the air in my bar is clean but at the time, 90% of my patrons wanted to smoke cigarettes inside my bar and the city was saying you can't have it anymore. i felt it was my duty as a business owner to tell them that this might affect my business. they didn't care. >> stephanie: i think

whisk -- chris quinn has said that any future mayor would be lucky to have the current police commissioner stay on. that will no doubt be brought out by bill de blasio who is very critical. we might see the issue of hospital closings,. bill de blasio has made that theme in his campaign and has criticized christine quinn. the rtc is not done enough to stop the closing a hospital in her district. she argues that she did very much and tries to help put a 24 hour emergency facility in its place. it will definitely see term limits, and we will see some discussion of the candidate's personal lives and families. this family has played a very important role in his campaign. bill thompson brought his wife of the campaign trail, and christine quinn would be the first openly gay mayor. >> host: joining us from new york. her byline can be seen tomorrow morning on "the new york times." she covers city hall and politics. thank you very much for being with us. >> guest: thank you for having me. glrvelts we're live democratic primary debate in the race fordn mayor.the live tonight we're at town hall wherc
