Why are so many willing to celebrate a liberal Republican winning? Wouldn't you just as soon let the Democrat offend the public senses with his extremism, than have Bloomberg's liberal ways be picked up as "mainstream" through the press?

Think about it. Usually, it seems clear to me, it's better to have an offensive, divisive Democrat "Hillary-type" or "Moseley-Braun-type" in office for a few years than a Republican who will vote for the same culture-of-death policies and perhaps become entrenched in office....

Watching hideous establishment-leftist Republican governors dominate Illinois for decades now, I speak from experience.

Sometimes an election is, literally, the lesser of two evils. Although we strive for an ideal, game theory demands that we choose the "lesser".

Even Jesus picked disciples who were highly imperfect. Maybe time will improve Bloomberg, too.

Well, some of us live in New York City and would prefer to live under Bloomberg than Green. Bloomberg is a flawed individual, to be sure, but he's certainly going to better than Green will!
