The last night of campaigning was rich in symbolism -- a subway station in Forest Hill, Queens -- the same spot as the first day in the general election campaign.

Beside Bloomberg once again was former mayor Ed Koch, the last mayor to win three terms.

The final, five-borough push began just after dawn aboard the Staten Island Ferry to a political base on the other side of the harbor.

Hand outstretched, Bloomberg waded into a sea of generally supportive voters at the St. George Ferry Terminal. It was then on to Holtermann Bakery, a family-run business in Great Kills where support came with reservations.

"I guess there were a few taxes that we could have done without, but you know, you gotta go with the flow, I guess," said Holtermann Bakery owner Bill Holtermann.

The eating and politicking continued across the Verrazano Bridge at another bakery in Fort Greene, Brooklyn where the mayor tried his hand at creating the establishment's signature red velvet cake.

But Bloomberg's education policies and businessman ethos did draw praise at the stops. Later on, it was a healthier lunch at an eco-friendly building supply store in the NoLita section of Manhattan before another turn for the nutritional worse at the Coco Helado Ices plant in the Bronx.

The mayor wasn't seeking a culinary theme, rather to spotlight small businesses. Politically, the citywide tour was an attempt by Bloomberg to shed the Manhattan-centric label wielded by his Democratic opponent, City Comptroller William Thompson.

At every stop, the mayor touted his own private sector experience, just leaving out the Wall Street severance pay he used for seed money.

Relatively popular, and well ahead in polls after vastly outspending Bill Thompson, there's talk of a Bloomberg blowout. A mandate could help dull voters' resentment from term limits and the season's tough campaign.

Publicly, the candidate expressed no strong preference, as long as it ended up with a third term.

"Maybe a win's a win, you'd always like to have more, but two days later, no one is going to remember how much you won by, they're only going to remember who the mayor is for the next four years," Bloomberg said.

While the mayor was publicly shaking hands, his vast get out the vote operation was rumbling into gear. On Election Day, 5,000 workers will be tapping into a voter database numbering in the hundreds of thousands -- making sure they all make it to the polls.
