Serious question for Americans: How come the NYC mayoralty is so prominent world-wide as opposed to, say, the capital or LA?
I couldn't even tell you the mayor of my own city but London's Lord Mayor has a similar prestige. That's kind of explainable, though, because it's the capital city.
Well NY is a major metropolitan city and I assume when most people think about the US the first city that pops into mind is NYC. Other than that I am not really sure but if we were speaking about LA, Mayor Villaraigosa has many meetings with a lot of different heads of states in latin america due to busines and the fact that there is pretty big latino community in Los Angeles.
Is it Normal that I really like Rudy Giuliani

Just wondering if there's something I'm missing.

It's just a guess, but I think Wall St. and the NYSE play a role.

I think that's probably it. Never even crossed my mind!
