Bloomberg's Impact on the Race

If he comes in as a 'Unifying Independent', he could definitely have an impact on what positions the two main candidates take.

Jim Angle of FoxNews pointed this out. His points, in any debate, would require that the candidates get specific about exactly how they would solve our domestic problems. And I think we're all in favor of that.

Bloomberg is way too liberal for my tastes but I cant help fantasizing him going head to head with Ron Paul {not that it would happen} and pointing out some SERIOUS Discrepancies.
-heh.

Another reason I like it.. look how the moonbat left responds!

 

I dunno... but it's fun.

Unlike Lindsay, though, neither Bloomberg or Giuliani is a 'pretty boy empty suit'.

You understand .. and I'll admit.. that his entry would be attractive because it would probably be vote-count neutral, though neither of the nominated contenders could take that chance.
That means they will actually have to take realistic positions.

 

Now suppose Ron Paul goes Libertarian, Bloomberg runs Independent, and then we have the two conventional candidates.

What then? Is the outcome going to be vastly different then if there were only two candidates?

 

Unlike Giuliani, Bloomberg has the resources to make a go of it without subverting his own views to either of the major political parties (since I'd imagine he's too much of a fiscal conservative for the Democrats and too much of a social liberal for the Republicans). I don't know, though, does he have any name recognition outside NYC and the financial services industry?

 

All this indecision seems to be affecting the possible Republican candidates more than the Democrats. Color me happy.

 

I'll color you DELUDED! Try to keep up.. at least read Drudge. May not be true* but it's an indicator.

Unless you mean that choosing only between Obama and Edwards is somehow GOOD.

*Meaning I dont think it is.

 

McCain is the best candidate for the Republicans. But the establishment and rednecks don't like him, he doesn't wear his religion on his sleeve, and he doesn't look nearly as much like Reagan as Romney.

So guess what? You guys get stuck with someone else. Not our fault, but makes for good entertainment.

 

Well, opinions are like a--holes. Everbody has one, and most of them stink.

But here's mine anyway (opinion that is):
Ron Paul takes more away from the Republicans than the Democrats. Democrats are being amazingly "business-like" in getting active in this primary, and I think that carries over to the general election this go round. Democrats, or those in the middle who think BuSh has severely tainted the Republican party for some time to come, are extremely focused on making sure the pendulum swings back.

Ron Paul appeals to the Libertarian version of Ross Perot voters. Motorcycle riding guys with guns who don't want to pay taxes.

Shall we start celebrating now?!?! Of course not, still plenty of time for someone to come from behind and strip the ball away. Don't lose stride and hold onto it with both hands.

 

What!!!!! I was just kidding about the 'deluded' part....

Oh, MY!
