The fact is that the RNC is building up into a nasty brew of workers, protesters and anarchists. It could work agaist the Dems, but it could do even more damage against Bush.
Why?
If the cops try Miami-style tactics, all hell will break loose. Because then you get the black politicans who have every interest in making Bush and Bloomberg look bad. And if they lay a whomping on middle class people, it will not go down well. Of course, that depends on how many cops show up. Bloomberg is no Giuliani, but he is inflexible in many different ways.
[...]
What Bush would like is a bunch of hippies stopping traffic. So would the media. But when it's cops and firefighters and teachers, then you have a very different issue. And if cops beat protesters, Bloomberg is in more trouble than he can imagine. If there is a violent riot in the park, it will be on Bloomberg, who will be tagged for protecting grass over people.
