Edward I. Koch: Dems, media are making an unforgivable mistake

I don't think he is completely irrelevant. He still has influence over a bunch of New York liberals and if we can begin to deprogram them I can smell victory.

That's just it, he'll never get them to change their mind, nor will anything else... IMHO, Bush hasn't a prayer in NY. I didn't think he did at the height of the war, I certainly don't now. We're foolish enough to vote for Hillary, that should tell you something, right? Pretty pathetic.

I am VERY concerned that N. Korea may sell a nuke to an anti-American group).

That would be my concern too, but we seem to be ignoring that threat and instead chasing after will o’ the wisps.

Koch is more honest than most Democrat politicians in saying what he really things.

In a way he's rather like Moynihan was, in that he can identify the problems, but is incapable of bringing himself to the logical conclusions for how to solve them. ...Less of the shoulder-shrugging, and references to unknowable solutions, though.

I'd vote for Democrat Koch over "Republican" Bloomberg in a nano-second.

Bloomburg was a long-time Democrat that ran on the Republican ticket as an alternative to Mark Green. Bloomburg is no Republican, but the alternative was Green.

Bloomburg is no Republican, but the alternative was Green.

Hence the quotes around "Republican". I'm no longer sure that Green would've been any worse than this clown.
