by Andrea Bernstein

NEW YORK, NY November 07, 2005 —Mayor Bloomberg has completed one round of what his campaign is calling his "two lap tour" of New York City in this final day of the mayor's race. WNYC's Andrea Bernstein has been with the Bloomberg campaign.

REPORTER: This may be the most expensive campaign in New York City History. But today, mayor Bloomberg engaged in what may be the least cost-effect method of campaigning there is: going door to door with former Mayor Ed Koch in an Irish neighborhood in Riverdale.

BLOOMBERG: Hi, Mike Bloomberg, nice to see you..31 so listen, i'm running for mayor and i appreciate your consideration tomorrow I think the city is going in the right direction for these kids so they'll have a future.

REPORTER: Before stopping in Riverdale, the Mayor spoke at senior centers in LOwer Manhattan, Borough Park, and Spring Gardens. He greeted Asian American, Italian American, and African American crowds. At each stop he exhorted voters not to let his huge lead in the polls lull them into not voting. For WNYC, I'm Andrea Bernstein
