in many ways michael bloombergs had been a fabulous mayor.however, we've got a boom in billionaires in new york city and a boom in poor people. and bloomberg didn't always seem to feel the poor people's pain. and so the time was ripe for somebody like de blasio to come along and run on inequality. >> stephen: but that's class warfare. >> i don't think you have to call it class warfare. >> stephen: you don't have to. but i'm willing to.

then there's new york city where michael bloomberg presumably cannot believe what he's seeing right nowrk as a republican mayor for six years and an independent for six years after that, michael bloomberg is now leaving office with the democratic candidate running to replace him leading the republican by almost 40 points. in a recent poll, 65% of new yorkers said they'd vote for bill de blasio over lhota. if those numbers hold on election day, de blasio would win by the widest margin ever for a nonincumbent. and, of course, there's virginia. my beloved virginia, the other governor's race this year besides new jersey. the virginia race has appeared to be leaning very strongly in favor of the democratic candidate with the washington post poll as of monday putting terry mcauliffe over cuccinelli by 20 points. women preferring mcauliffe by 24 points. but then two days ago, a new poll released which shows a much, much closer contest for virginia governor. in the poll, he's still in the lead but only by four points now. for a candidate who has nod led a poll outright since he led exactly one

he will succeed three-term major michael bloomberg on january 1st.nd while democrats are revels in their victories, republicans are celebrating as well. they are celebrating a big win in the traditional blue state of new jersey. chris christie knocking down big knobs for his bid for a second term. john this was one of the most talked about races anywhere, but they are not talking about christie's big win, they are talking about 2016 and christie clinton. >> yeah, well it was such a big win. the governor won by 60% in many areas. you look at these numbers and they are so good and tempting for the republican party. christie did well among african-americans. he got 20%. he got 50% of the hispanic vote. he won the women's vote against a female contender. and 30 or 31% of the democrats in the state, and he is a republican governor, so because of that, it is seems -- frankly nobody in jersey expects him to stay for the full four years, but i think he'll have to run in 2016, because those numbers are extraordinary and they set up a tantalizing contest with

bill beblawsio will be replacing michael bloomberg. the story is more dramatic in boston. where the mayor has been sitting in that job 20 years. i think there are a lot of people in boston with political ambition who have been waiting a long time for him to retire to have a changing of the guard there. what we're seeing is also the continuation of the departure of some mayors who have been on the scene for a very long time. this dates back to chicago with mayor daly. we've seen this early in the year in los angeles. i mean, this is sort of like an opportunity to see some fresh faces in some of the largest cities in america where we've had the exact same people in charge for a very long time. >> ifill: i think tom menino is 24 years older than the guy replacing him. i want to go back to detroit. that's the one that is not like the other two. it is a city under stress, quite dysfunctional and on the brink of bankruptcy. >> and i think what happened in detroit is they basically hired a problem solver, someone with deep roots in the corporate, civic, and medical community, and

look at michael bloomberg, liberal causes spent $2.3 $. ion, thomas steye; million for liberal. host: but michael bloomberg lost some racest -- race he is dumped some -- a lot of money into. >> it is categorically the case that money can't buy elections. i know what i just said, about the correlation between the amount you spend and the ability to win a race, i realize that sounds contradictory. but there are multiple factors that come into place. bloomberg and other big spenders that come into a race, usually have to do so without coordinating with the campaign, by law. that is the standard that applies. that means there may be a doubling of efforts. it may mean that the strategy that's employed isn't as effective. most of these political campaigns are run by political parties or run by folk who was done a lot of companies in the past, in my personal experience it's been the case that people who are wealthy and want to run a political campaign sometimes don't -- they have a new way of running a race or there are other factors that come into play that mean they're less experienc
