I LOVE the web - here are a few comments on changing the law to extend the mayors term from some prominent Dems.

Former Mayor Ed Koch, a Democrat who served 12 years in office before the ban was enacted, told CNN Monday he supports the lifting of term limits but does not think Giuliani's term should be extended.

"They didn't do that for Abraham Lincoln or for FDR," Koch told CNN. "That would be very, very anti-democratic and that would never fly."

NEW YORK -- Mayor Rudolph Giuliani obtained the support Thursday of two of the three mayoral candidates for a plan that would allow him to stay on at City Hall for an extra three months while he guides the city through the aftermath of the World Trade Center attacks.

But Bronx Borough President Fernando Ferrer, one of the two Democrats still in the race, declined to support the idea, saying he was worried about the precedent it would set.

I'm sure there is more democratic double speak out there.
