Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes conceded to his Democratic rival Ken Thompson�for the second time�tonight, becoming the first sitting district attorney in more than half a century to be voted out of office.
�It�s a substantial vote. It gives Ken Thompson a clear mandate which he didn�t have after the primary,� Mr. Hynes said, sounding glum at his Election Night party at a swanky Bay Ridge steakhouse. �He has an absolute right to have a clean transition and we�ll have it.�
�I had a great, great run,� reflected Mr. Hynes. �I�ve had a great public career and I�m sure I can tell you I�m not going to kick up my heels, relax, and read good books. I still have a lot to offer when the dust settles.�

All you smart people out there . Remember what i said a few weeks ago. Rabbis in Israel said Hynes will lose
GUESS WHAT THEY WERE RIGHT
Is it a yom tov that they’re all wearing their shtreimlach?
Rosenberg is delusional if he thinks George dropped out because of him or that the gentiles of Brooklyn voted for Thompson because of him.
Where and when was the picture taken?
