deBlasio ad blasting Koch Brothers

http://www.politico.com/story/2013/10/bill-de-blasio-koch-brothers-ad-98811.html?hp=l16

Democratic mayoral candidate for New York City Bill de Blasio’s campaign released an ad Thursday slamming billionaire Republican donors the Koch brothers.

“Don’t let the Koch Brothers buy the election,” the ad says, which also labels the David and Charles Koch as a pair “who spent hundreds of millions of dollars trying to defeat President Obama.”

That's right, the Koch brothers live in that libertarian utopia of... NYC?

but I was in my Political Theory class this morning, and my professor asked us if we knew who DeBlasio is. Out of everyone in the class, I was the only person who raised their hand. I find it alarming how little people around my age seem to follow politics, even those who of us who are POSCI majors. I understand that this is strictly a NYC election, but it still has been widely discussed in the media. Surely more people would have been aware of who the Democratic nominee for mayor is by now, but I guess maybe I'm being a little too harsh...
