Politics tends to be cyclical. The worst thing about the current crop of politicians isn’t that they’re Democrats. I’m fairly liberal in many respects. The problem is that they don’t govern.

True, but even then I'm tracking that those politicians (Pataki, Giuliani, Bloomberg) never won all of the five boroughs, which does make the OP an interesting question. For instance, Pataki lost every borough but Staten Island in his 2002 reelection bid:

In 1993, Giuliani won Queens and Staten Island only:

Though he fared much better in 1997, losing only the Bronx:

Bloomberg only won Queens and Staten Island in 2001:

Bloomberg did win every borough but the Bronx in 2005:

But for 2009 lost both Brooklyn and the Bronx:
