Bloomberg's walked this fine line of being a Republican and not being a Republican. Also, he has the advantage of a record that can be defended. I mean, after all, for an incumbent to lose, he has to be plagued by scandal or otherwise found to be seriously wanting. |

The institution would have been crippled. It would have been without credibility. |
