But the latter seems to be winning out daily.” Love Zac’s attitude about all this: “Whatever happens, I took a stand.” Not sure I love what his friend and former colleague has to say–did I really use the word “flair”?–but Blow did a nice job of taking seriously a mayoral candidate who’s gonna have to take himself more seriously after this morning’s paper. –Robert Wilonsky
