"Bloomberg is a D E M O C R A T, regardless of costume. He doesn't even make it as a Rockefeller Republican"

Correct on all that.
I still voted for him though, because Fernando Ferrer would have been a terrible nightmare.
Bloomberg is at least reasonably competent, and relatively corruption free.
Ferrer would have robbed us blind.

In any election in NYC a Democrat disguised as a Left Republican is probably superior to any Democrat who makes it to the nomination. That does not make him good, or even acceptable to decent folk, just better than the Democrat. Sometimes it is a case of the lesser of two horrors.
