Friedman Gets Local

Andrew Rasiej
Can a single-issue candidate get elected public advocate? Tom Friedman seems to think so. The guru of flat-worldism gets seriously local in today's Times, planting a big wet cyberkiss on public advocate candidate Andrew Rasiej and his plan to make New York wireless.
Questions:
Can a single-issue candidate get elected public advocate?
Is this the right single issue?
Would the city's wifi platform bankrupt local IPOs and even telephone providers (through VOIP)?
Could the pretty-much-powerless Public Advocate actually get the thing done?
Could Tom Friedman's endorsement mean more than almost every New York Democrat's?
How do you pronounce Rasiej?
Tune in tomorrow for Brian's interview with Rasiej.
