He is still bitter over the fact that he lost the nomination for governor. He just doesn’t have the guts to change his registration.

Further proof of this is in the comparison of Obama’s policy to that of George Bush. Bush said that a “foundation” was a proposal in which Israel withdrew to the 1967 borders, Obama said that the boundary should be “based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps”. Yet Koch endorsed Bush over Kerry after he made that US policy. This is clearly not about Israel but about something else.
