"I think Pirro, not Cox, has a chance of beating Hillary. I've heard that Pirro has a husband with legal problems, though."
Jeanine Pirro is only 51 and has plenty of time to become known and run for higher office. She has big time problems with her husbands conviction for tex evasion, but still remains very popular herself. She would make an excellent AG.
Bloomberg is the best (worst) example of a RINO in the country. He doesn't count. I'm not aware of a single conservative principle he follows. Even if there is one, that isn't enough for him to count as evidence of a Republican's electability in NY. For him, it's purely a convenient label because he couldn't win the Rat nomination because he wasn't part of their machine.
If it's really 60 million, that's great. But no amount of money is enough to beat Hitlery in NY unless we have a very strong candidate.
Nothing Bloomie has done impresses me in the least as a Republican.
There should not be a "but" in that sentence. Supporting the death penalty is a very pro-life position.
"Nothing Bloomie has done impresses me in the least as a Republican."
Bloomberg has my support because he has been an excellent Mayor. His oppponents would return the City to a dangerous mind set that is anti-business, anti-development and soft on crime. New York is the safest city in America, and we want to keep it that way.
DC 37 with 110,000 members, 85% of whom are Black and Hispanic voted overwhelmingly to support Bloomberg . They have done this in an unprecedented early endorsement, before the Democrats even choose a candidate.
So what?
My point is that Bloom isn't a Pub, he's a centrist Democrat (rather than the nutballs that you mentioned returning the city to a dangerous mindset) and you are supporting that belief.
How many of them voted for Bush?!
Bloomberg is running on the GOP ticket, and he has my vote. Every Republican and Conservative I know in the city will vote for him because he has been an excellent Mayor.
You don't live here and you don't understand NY politics.
Everyone who is pro-business, pro-development and anti-crime will vote for Bloomberg. We like his management style and his ability to work with almost everyone for a better NY.
We don't want political hacks like Ferrer or Fields to run our city.
You can vote for him until you turn blue, because that is what he is, and that is what NYC is, irrespective of your Rino, right of Hillary pols who mean little to the National scene.
Cripes, you might as well make San Fran your sister city.
That being said, I'm sure he is better than what NYC calls "democrats," but NYC is voting Hillary in 06 and 08 and you know it.
