1. this is a "Dem message board" not a rich New Yorker board

:evilgrin:

[OHdem10]

2. On C-Span right now, Doug Baily , Head Unity 08

is explaining all about Bloomberg abilites as leader etc.

It sounds as if the draft movement is a way of establishing
a base. Determine if enough Americans would be interested
enough to vote.

Bailey. If Bloomberg runs he will be the next president.
He will run only if he can win.

However, this draftbloomgerg is a serious move IMO.

Go to C-Span.

3. As Hillary gains momentum, Draft Bloomberg gains momentum

No surprise there. Nader is also more inspired to run against her as well.

6. You think Bloomberg wants to split the New York vote? Hard for me to see him doing that. nt

[skipos]

10. I think Bloomberg wants to get in the race against "polarizing" candidates.

I think his dream would be Clinton vs. Huckabee, since neither do well with independents.
He can spend a billion dollars on this and not blink.

[terisan]

12. Don't see Bloomberg doing that against a NY Senator. Too divisive for NY nt

[skipos]

14. Have you been following this story at all?

This Bloomberg issue is serious, and no one gives two shits about the fact that Clinton is from NY. He knows she is polarizing nationally, and sees that as his in.

[terisan]

15. He is unlikely to get in race if Clinton is candidate. If he does Dems could lose NY to Republican

[skipos]

16. Most people think he is MOST likely to get into the race if Hillary is the nom

She doesn't appeal to independents. He knows that.

4. I just put this up strictly to inform us as to what is going on.

I am not enthralled over this by any means.

5. Coming Up...Peter, Paul & Mary Sing Kumbaya

I forgot who the politician was who said it but the old axiom goes "the only things in the middle of the road are white lines and dead armadillos".

It's so nice to see all these political hacks salivating for a piece of that Bloomberg fortune.

7. No one was able to draft this POS during Vietnam. Now he is ready?

Now he is willing?

Unityo8 and Draft Bloomberg.com = 8 More Years of toe tapping, diaper wearing Repig freaks running this country.

8. Nominate Hillary, get Bloomberg.

It's no secret.

9. I'd say it's a lot more likely if the nominee is Edwards, actually.

These Unity bozos are simply terrified that actual majorities of American citizens might have a say in how they're governed.

[Renew Deal]

11. That's a different argument.

More people will vote if there's more candidates. The two parties are not entitled to run unopposed.

[terisan]

13. I see Edwards as the person Bloomberg would want to stop. nt
