Too bad. I was hoping he would split the Dems. Maybe Hillary sent him a "Greetings from Ft. Marcy Park" postcard.

What were his exact words? Was there any “wiggle room?”

My only concern is that he could have bled votes away from the republican candidate, but many here feel he would have bled votes from the democrat mostly.

At any rate.

I hear Nader may run now.

Which is always GOOD to hear! Good ‘ol Nader. It would have been President Gore without him! LOL

Yeh, right, that’s why he switched his party affiliation, just so he couldn’t run in ‘08.

Why is an Atlanta radio station reporting such breaking news about Bloomberg? Not a NYC outlet?

Well, he’s obviously not angling to be drafted by the GOP.

But he will probably accept a VP slot from the eventual DemoRat primary winner.

Is Lyndon LaRouche (D) in the race this time? It may be the last time...

He knows his running would divert votes from his co-fascist, the ‘Beast, and ensure a conservative victory.

I think he might change his mind. He evidently has a billion dollars or so burning a hole in his pocket. That is probably a very powerful feeling, not that I have any idea how that feels, one Lincoln is capable of burning a hole in my pocket.

I’d love it if Goreon ran as a Green in ‘08.

Hell, Fred Thompson would even probably win Maryland if that happened.

He probably didn’t want to be just another Ross Perot to HRC. May even have had some stern convincing!
