Topinka Spokesman Dismisses Endorsement (CBS) CHICAGO -- Gov. Rod Blagojevich has won a surprising endorsement from the Republican mayor of New York City.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg was in Chicago on Thursday to promote New York as a host of the 2008 Democratic National Convention.
Bloomberg called Blagojevich a fighter for the people of Illinois, especially in health care issues.
“If I lived here, I would vote for him,” Bloomberg said of the Democratic governor.
In response, a spokesman for GOP rival Judy Baar Topinka dismissed Bloomberg’s endorsement as from an “out of towner.”

Correction: NYC does NOT have a Republican mayor.
They have Michael Bloomberg, who defines perfectly what a 'RINO' is.
This is just a dog bites man story.

You'd think Bloomberg would support his fellow RINO Topinka

Bloomberg is a Republican in NAME ONLY.
He's a demoncrat at heart.

Wow, Blagojevich is conservative, or is it that Bloomberg is liberal?
It's so difficult to decide.

Bloomburg is one of those Rhino's I would put below McCain.

What the hell is it with these guys in the Northeast who call themselves Republican, but always endorse the Democrat, vote Democrat, oppose Republicans?
Of more relevance, what the hell is it with these Republican primary voters who nominate these guys? The police ought to be investigating: there's blatant, unapologetic identity theft going on!

Didn't Bloomberg switch parties a few years ago to run?

It's typical New York: no one does anything -- period -- unless they want something from you.

Hopefully he'll implode in Des Moines. LOL

He's rich enough to try to buy the Iowa caucus, but I doubt they're for sale.

The good folks in the Hawkeye State won't have it.
Speaking of Iowa, I saw Frist doing media interviews in front of a corn dog stand today. Didn't hear what he was talking about (TV was on mute) but Rush and I took notice. LOL
