WSJ: Thompson Starts Making His Move

Michael Howard Saul writes: 
New York City mayoral candidate Bill Thompson has begun working part-time at his Wall Street job to focus on his campaign, vowing to dispel the notion that he lacks the drive to win City Hall. 

In an interview, Mr. Thompson said he would leave his job altogether in March to wage a vigorous fight in his second bid for mayor. He has 10 campaign fundraisers planned for this week and has stepped up his schedule of public events in recent months. [Wall Street Journal]
