Anybody think Bloomberg is a possibility?

[nomaco-10]

Others not ruled out so far;

leiberliar
christ
ridge
graham

[jakem]

1. hmm... vetted?

[BeyondGeography]

2. Crist is out, but Christ is still on the short list

[marmar]

3. I can't see Bloomberg allying himself with McCain (and thus Bush)

n/t

[TornadoTN]

4. Doubtful - but he would be a real problem for us

He has that "outsider" appeal, whether its real or not is open for debate. He claims to be an "independent" and receives high marks across the country. He could be a real problem if it is him, although I would put my money on Biden in a 1 on 1.

That being said - for him to align with McCain (Bush) would destroy any amount of "independence" and "outsider" appeal he has. I doubt he would do that - I hear that he might shoot for Governor or Senate.

11. I agree, he could be trouble. n/t

5. Bloomberg? No. A "liberal" pro-choice New York Jew?

Gets him nothing, and might lose him his southern Fundie base.

[MikeNearMcChord]

10. And pro gun control to boot. The base will run from him.

[ErinBerin84]

6. I don't think so

I remember that he said the gas tax holiday was the most stupid idea he has ever heard. But I guess anything's possible.

[Alter Ego]

7. Bloomberg's not a Republican in the classical sense--he's actually fiscally responsible

and while he'd give McCain a lot of chops in economics, he'd infuriate the religious right.

[still_one]

8. No. For one Bloomberg is anti-bush, and also pro-choice /nt

[bdamomma]

9. how about Lieberman

but did Rove warn Lieberman or warn McCain not to pick him as VP.

[npincus]

12. No... he is a social liberal and would not run against Obama

not no way, not no how.

[JohnnyBoots]

13. I have this really wierd feeling that Newt Gingrich is going to be it. Two

adulterers who left thier handicapped wives. Yeah that should really lock up the female vote.

[Ganja Ninja]

14. Bloomberg is just too smart to be McCain's VP.

Why would he waste his time running with a loser like McCain? What's in it for him?

[nomaco-10]

16. What with gramps with one foot on a bannana peel and all.....

it wouldn't surprise me that somebody like bloomberg might want to set themselves up for the future.

[JoFerret]

15. No.He is more of a dem really.n/t
