You left out:
e.) It isn't gossip that Rudy himself stated that he would "Like to run on the democratic line". It's youtube.
I'd like to run on the republican line, the liberal line, the conservative line, the democrat line........and then he laughed.
If you knew anything about NY voting practices you would know that a candidate can be on any line where he gets the support of the powers that be in those political organizations. Most candidates run on more than one line.
Don't let the facts get in the way of your lies.
