Yeah, the Rudybots have been unusually quiet on this thread so far, haven't they? I suspect they're having a freepmail meeting discussing what their strategy is gonna be and putting their talking points together. :)

Heh, it honestly would not surprize me if they came on and said the man in the video was not Rudy. Alien invasion or some sort of android made to look like Rudy by the Right.

Someone even came on and said it was taken out of context, lol, how the heck do you take "I support mccain feingold" out of context.

There are too many ironies to count. A bunch of people supporting a candidate who didn't list a party affiliation when he filed his initial paperwork and states that he wishes he could run with the opposition of the party of which he is seeking the nomination will criticize people who vote for the Constitution Party in a general election over Rudy for lack of party loyalty.

I was actually waiting for some sourcing on the video, but since none is forthcoming, I'll throw one out so you guys can jump on it and keep you occupied for a bit...!

The "Democrat line" comment appears to refer to the "electoral fusion" part of NYC politics. I know everybody hates Wikipedia, but it indicates (and I use the Liberal Party as a reference as they did endorse him in 1989)...

The Liberal Party was one of several minor parties that fulfill a role almost unique to New York State politics. New York law allows electoral fusion – a candidate can be the nominee of multiple parties and aggregate the votes received on all the different ballot lines. Several other states allow fusion, but only in New York is it commonly practiced. In fact, since each party is listed with its own line on New York ballots, multiple nominations mean that a candidate's name can be listed several times on the ballot.

It's an unusual system, but that will give some context to consider...
Okay, it's time for the 715 Rudybot meeting...I'm bringing the Kool-Aid...
