6. Are you saying he simply wants to insure a GOP Win.
I know it sounds strange. Everyone seems to think he would
hurt Republicans.

I have maintained all along he could be the one who hurts Democrats.
Since he has been a Democrat all his life, except long enough
to get the Mayorship of NYC. He knows in spades how to talk
Democratic.

This was Ronald Regan's Secret Weapon. Regan had been a Democrat
for the greater part of his life. He had been a UNion Leader.
He knew how to talk in such a way to make Democrats see him
as harmless. Greatest Political Weapon ever.

I think most of us know what Regan did for the country.

If Bloomberg has a problem with Edwards then he has a problem
with rank and file Independents. I ask where does he think
or who does he think will vote for him.

Watch and listen carefully to Bloomberg. Insist that he have
a platform and the issues and his reccommendation for a fiz.

I still say the problem is not the Presidency.
GWB pushed and got away with stuff because the GOP in Congress
(House and Senate) permitted him to do it.
The divsion in the Country is caused by Congress not the Presidency.

A strong Congress can stop a President if they so will.

Third party is not the answer to the divisivness.
