Derb paints an unpleasant picture of the 2008 presidential election:
Giving Mrs. Clinton the benefit of the carpetbagger doubt, that is, and taking Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg as the other two — yes, it might come down to this. [An all-Empire State election] Your choices for presidential candidate in November 2008 might be three gun-controlling, abortion-supporting, gay-friendly, illegal-immigrant-amnestying northeasterners, two of them high-tax, welfare-state, social-engineering, affirmative-action liberals.
That may be the only way the PTBs can arrange to have a New York liberal elected president again… by offering strawberry, strawberry, or, for those looking for something different, strawberry. I’d like to think this would make the complete charade of “democracy” apparent to everyone paying even the smallest bit of attention to the process, but I know better.
I’m still keeping my eye on Pataki, but we’ll see. In any case, why vote for the lesser evil? Cthulhu 2008!
