>I like Bloomberg because he complements McCain's skills, adding financial expertise to an international bent. Also, the New Yorkers I know think highly of him. As for keeping the far right happy, consider the advantages of addressing the problems without polarizing the country.

One thought is McCain needs a southerner, but I don't think so. I don't like McCain, but given the other options, it's like - sir, would you like cyanide, hemlock or kool-aid? Uh, do you have grape Kool-aid? Everyone to the right of John Kerry will be voting for McCain, and though the media is saying 20% of Hillary's supporters, I think closer to 40%. McCain should be a slam dunk.
