Tell me where Bloombad siphons votes away from the GOP anywhere. He is rabidly anti 2nd amendment. He has screwed the GOP by flipping to secure the Mayor gig. He also rammed through illegally a measure to allow him to run a 3rd term. This guy has no natural base and he is fairly unlikeable.
This piece is basically porn for Rats who see the impending Tea Party freight train coming and looking for some inconceivable silver lining.
No, I think they mean that Governor Palin needs a third party spoiler to beat Mr. Obama in 2012. I strongly disagree: (1.) Mr. Obama becomes more unpopular by the day and doesn’t have the skill set of a President Bill Clinton to turn that around. (2.) Gov. Palin aready has about 70% of the GOP and millions of Independents and Reagan Democrats in her corner. (3.) I’m a disabled veteran sitting at my computer, yet I’ll raise $2 million dollars for her campaign ... money isn’t going to be a problem. (4.) Mayor Mike Bloomberg didn’t get to be a billionaire by throwing money down the toilet. (5.) The Tea Party movement, by itself, is enough to carry Gov. Palin to the White House, but she has lots more going for her. (6.) She’s going to have a lot of chits all over the country, such as Nikki Haley, Terry Branstad, Sharron Angle, etc.
There are a lot of independents and moderate Republicans and Democrats who want Obama out of office but aren’t at all comfortable with the idea of a President Palin. Those are the votes he’s likely to siphon, and it could very well be enough to ensure that Obama is re-elected.
