Ted, former NYC mayor Ed Koch, a lifelong Democrat, is supporting Bush: theunionleader.com; No loss! Koch has a history of voting for Republican candidates.....casting his vote for Bush would be just another in a long line. In his own words: <font color=brown>"During my mayoralty, I occasionally endorsed Republicans in the Albany Legislature. I didn't always agree with many of their positions, particularly their opposition to a woman's right to an abortion. (I am for the rights provided under Roe vs. Wade.) But I believed those individuals had demonstrated a willingness to lend financial support to the City of New York which was then on the edge of bankruptcy. Over the years, I have crossed party lines in mayoral elections because I believed that John Lindsay, Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg, for whom I campaigned and voted, would be far better for the City of New York than the Democratic candidates running against them. Party affiliation is an important consideration but should never be dispositive when casting a vote. " beliefnet.com
