I’ll never know the truth. The allegations don’t describe the father I knew. I’m flattered that people are thinking about me in that position [borough president], but I like what I’m doing What’s strange is I never told anyone I was interested in the job. In the last six months not a week goes by without someone asking me if I’m running. I ask them, ‘Where did you hear this?’ There are a lot of very good people running for this position, I’m not throwing my hat into that ring. If Robert Morganthau ever decided not to run again, that is something I would look at I’m not considering running against him. Only if there’s a vacancy. I think he’s saying he’s running — so we could be talking 2009.
