Mayor Michael Bloonberg has announced that he is leaving the Republican Party, and will continue his Mayoralty as an Independent.

>>>He’s going to be the Ross Perot of 2008, giving us a Clinton Presidency.

Bloomie will hurt Hildabeast rather than help. He’ll peel off just enough New England libs and put NY in serious play, perhaps enough that the right Republican can win there.

[true_blue_texican]

Ross Perot was at least a fiscal conservative. Bloomie is a lib. Bloomie will pull more “moderate” and dem voters.

Now, if only we can get McCain and Specter to follow suit.

[Ol' Sparky]

Great news! Now, if Giuliani would only do the same thing...

“He’s going to be the Ross Perot of 2008, giving us a Clinton Presidency.”

I think he’s actually much more likely to siphon off Democrat votes than Republican votes. He was always a down-the-line liberal.

[HarmlessLovableFuzzball]

Bloomberg was a Republican ? I honestly didn’t know that.

[airborne]

I hope he does run!

He’s just what this country needs!

Someone to split the Dem vote! ;^)

[Shelayne]

Precursor to an independent White House run?

Sounds like it. Perhaps part of the Unity '08 ticket?

[samadams2000]

Thats my belief, that he would pick off the “mainstream” anti-hillary Demons, which would give us a Thompson Presidency.

[anton]

Our spiritual leader is gone. Boo hoo.

Let him have a productive career arranging for government funded abortions for illegal aliens.

[umgud]

Run Bloomey, run...........

[BMC1]

Does this surprise anyone? He wants to buy the Presidency.

[reagan_fanatic]

Good riddance, RINO.

[TWohlford]

Door, butt, way out, etc.

[samadams2000]

Hilary just dropped her left nut.

[taildragger]

So Cal,

Both him and Hagel aren't worth a bucket of warm spit and yes we will get Hillary with these two clowns.

At least Perot touched a nerve with people for a while.

These two clowns stand for Ogots....

[MeanWestTexan]

He’ll draw more from her thighness.

He was a Dim long before he pretended to be a republican.

[Lee N. Field]

Good riddance.

[mtnwmn]

My guess is he would give us a Republican president.....but I’m no expert.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

He’s going to be the Ross Perot of 2008, giving us a Clinton Presidency.

This is actually good news. He's going to split the liberal/moderate vote with the Dems. Conservatives and folks who really pay attention to the issues will never vote for him.

And he'll force the GOP candidates to move further to the right, another plus.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Hey Bloomie, don’t let the door hit your arse on the way out!
