• Comment: Could really use help to make sure this hook isn't written in a way that is either stupid or offensive. Also, her husband's primary election for New York City mayoral election, 2013 is less than a month away, so if there's a promotional concern, this could be held until after that. I wasn't sure whether or not to include him in this hook.

• The article meets DYK criteria - new enough, long enough, reliably referenced, and no close paraphrasing. Both hooks are fine and verified, but I prefer the second hook because it mentions who the man is. The image is free use. SL93 (talk) 21:52, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
