Freddie Ferrer — the local New York pol I described as the unluckiest guy in America today because he missed winning 40 percent of the vote in yesterday’s Big Apple mayoral primary by about 175 votes, thus triggering a runoff just as had happened to him four years ago — finally caught a break this morning. The guy who was going to be in the runoff with him, Rep. Anthony Weiner, has decided to concede. This means Ferrer will have a full two months as the Democratic nominee before he is blown away by Mike Bloomberg in the general election. Congratulations, Freddie. I guess.
