Riding in cars with Moore: Republicans may face dilemmaRepublicans attending their national convention in New York this week will be playing a game of taxi roulette. Sitting atop 100 of the ubiquitous yellow vehicles are signs advertising the paperback version of Michael Moore's best-selling book, Dude, Where's My Country?

The book, published by Warner Books, led him to produce Fahrenheit 9/11, the blockbuster movie critical of the Bush administration.

The taxi advertisements were purchased only for the week of the convention to "let the Republicans know there's another point of view out there if they're interested," said Warner Publisher Jamie Raab.

"This is going to present an interesting dilemma for some Republicans — do I get in the cab or wait for another one?" Raab said. "I think some Republicans will prefer to walk."
