We need a voters’ bill of rights including several things, but runoff elections are the most major.

Freaky as it sounds, Bloomy lacks the charisma of Perot and will not win a single state. It’s hard to say if he would siphon off more votes from Dems or Reps though.

America will never give the presidency to a poofy Elmer Fudd, no matter how much cash he tosses in the air.

Where would Bloomberg’s votes come from? The Dems? No. Conservatives? No. Independents? Possibly a few. I can’t really see this scenario coming to pass. He has no charisma and no distinct identity which would separate him from the pack.

If if if. Too many ifs.

If my dog spouted wings he could fly.

Mike Bloomberg will win as many state as I in 08. Zero.

He can flush as much money down the campaign toilet as he wants. His candidacy isn’t getting out of the sewer.

LOL. Bloomberg couldn’t win one state no matter how much money he has.

All I know, without consulting the tea leaves of Rasmussen’s polling, is that if the candidates are Rudy and Hillary, and Bloomberg makes it a 3-way race, why would anyone bother to vote? “The Three Faces of Soros!”

He’s never do as well as Nader; 2 maybe 3 %, and even that seems high.

Bloomberg would hurt Giuliani, probably, but not Fred, who would win a different combination of states. Against Fred, Bloomberg would hurt Hillary more, because he’s a raving leftist who doesn’t even deserve to be called a RINO.

Sounds like a case for instant runoff where you vote for your #1 choice and then your #2 choice at the same time.

In a 3 way race, I’d vote for the GOP candidate #1, the democrat #2, and vote never on that nanny state fascist Bloomberg.

I would hope that the people would see a Bloomberg candidacy for what it would be — an expensive ego trip — and tell him what he can do with both his ambitions and his money; a reaction which, I assume, he has very rarely experienced. There’s too much at stake in the next election to have some fool (even a mega-rich fool) monkey around with the process.

I saw a headline in the NY Post yesterday about Mayor B proposing some sort of tax cuts. Is he setting himself up for next year’s run by portraying himself as a “tax cutter”?

I can't see Bloomberg winning any state whatsoever no matter how much money he might spend on a presidential run. He pretty much supports Bush on the WOT, but is far to the left on just about every domestic issue you can name, an advocate of the nanny state. It would be more accurate to call him a ROC - Republican of convenience - rather than a mere RINO, since he was a lifelong 'Rat who joined the GOP only because it presented a clearer path to the NYC mayor's job.

Plus, his personal style lacks charisma - he is bland and sometimes grating in his speeches, with a pronounced New York accent. No amount of personal wealth can transform him into an effective national candidate. If Ross Perot couldn't win a single state in '92 or '96, there is no way Bloomberg can.

This article from Rasmussen is completely irrelevant.

Bloomberg is a fascist POS and everybody knows it. If anything, he’ll steal more votes from the Dems.

Fat Chance! Bloomberg could spend billions on a run, but he has too many things going against him, the primary one being that New Yorkers hate him, and outside that state, he is a nothing! His history of raising taxes pretty much reveals him as more of a RINO than Guliani, Romney and McCane combined.
