I don't fall for your thread at all! I think its a ploy! In fact I am willing to bet on it. Why because I think you know NYC is the best place that we should have the convention which it is.

I agree.

What Ploy would that be?

You would lose that bet.

Bloomberg is the national joke.

He is downright hated here in New York (All of New York not just the city) and once the full effect of his policies take hold the city will be in worse shape than even it was during the 1970's.

And despite the results of the last election Pataki isn't that popular either. His first term was wonderful than he turned into a tax & spend Liberal

Putting these two in the spotlight with George Bush would hurt more than any gains he makes. Unless the Republicans do something bold like kicking Bloomberg out of the party.
