Koch has one great love: New York City. That's all you need to know about him. That's why he will look beyond party lines. The destruction of the towers touched him so personally, that he rationally wants to fight the bad guys. It's nice to see a politician who puts priniciple above party.

If he wants to talk at the convention, that's nice. Doesn't hurt to hear his alternative domestic ideas. I'd like to know what they are? Does he want to give double the cash to the poor that Bush wants to give? What actually separates this Democrat from that Republican?

I remember when he was interviewed on FOX News just days after 9/11, Ed Koch said that he was in one of the towers the morning of the attacks and nearly lost his life. 9/11 changed his perspective in more ways than one.
