Those voting against the Mayor will vote for either Republican-Conservative John Marchi, a Staten Island State Senator, or Democrat Mario Procaccino, the city's Comptroller. Lindsay, who lost the Republican primary to Marchi in June, is running on both Liberal and Independent tickets...
Whatever the results of the election, New York's party system will never be the same. Most liberal politicians have deserted their party's standard-bearers to support Lindsay. These include Herman Badillo and Percy Sutton, Democrat boroughpresidents of the Bronx and Manhattan and New York's Republican Senators, Charles Goodell and Jacob Javits...
...will be important in determining the other two members of the new council. In Wheeler's case, it is pretty clear: By a process somewhat akin to a laying-on of hands, she has been backing Robert P. Moncreiff, a former Rhodes Scholar and like her, CCA and a Republican. With this vote, Moncreiff seems to have a pretty good chance of election. The old Goldberg vote, on the other hand, will probably scatter; some may go to James W. Caragianes (Ind.) who, like Goldberg, draws a lot of support in Mid-Cambridge; others will flow towards School Committeeman Daniel...
...Lindsay's opposition is now terribly, calamitously split, with Mario Procaccino retaining hard-core Democrats and the holders of pencil-thin moustaches, and John Marchi capturing the more sensitive, the more educated and the more Republican among the Lindsay-haters. For a while it seemed Procaccino had the election wrapped up, if mostly because so many New Yorkers look so much like him and tend, therefore, to think him attractive.

WHATEVER his mistakes, Marchi will do well on November 4th-when you consider that he is a conservative Republican running in an overwhelmingly Democratic, and usually liberal, town. He has nearly all Procaccino's positive points except the party label. He has a certain impressive quality all his own. But the polls suggest Marchi cannot avoid the role of spoiler, however much he might like to. Every vote he acquires is a vote acquired from Procaccino, and only brings the necessary Lindsay total down that much further...
