Time magazine has named what it calls the "five best big city mayors" in America.
The winners are:
New York's Michael Bloomberg
Atlanta's Shirley Franklin
Baltimore's Martin O'Malley
Chicago's Richard Daley
Denver's John Hickenlooper
Gavin Newsom of San Francisco gets an honorable mention.
Time also designated three mayors as the nation's worst:
Detroit's Kwame Kilpatrick
San Diego's Dick Murphy
Philadelphia's John Street
Neither list was ranked, and the mayors were listed in alphabetical order.
The lists appear in the issue of the magazine that hits newsstands Tuesday.
Bloomberg and Murphy are Republicans. All the others are Democrats.
Surprise surprise. Kwame "Thank you for the sweet ride, Detroit" Kilpatrick.
