His mistake (it would seem) was to carry water for the big money donors BEFORE he convinced the Democratic voters in NY that he was worthy of being elected mayor. It seems he was looking past a very important primary, as if he had already won it. I don't live in the Big Apple, so maybe I got it wrong.
