Weiner concedes
There will be no runoff -- it's officially Ferrer vs. Bloomberg.
"We must start getting behind Freddy Ferrer right away," he said, "if we are to beat a Republican like Mayor Bloomberg." He called his concession "the right thing to do."
Apparently Eliot Spitzer had a hand in persuading Weiner to take one for the team. Steve Gilliard imagines what that phone call might have sounded like.
I'm not speculating. Andy Kurtzman said this on WCBS's 12 PM newscast.
I'm just guessing at what the phonecall covered

Hey Steve,
Sorry, I didn't realize you had a source for that. I'll correct the post.
