So what is he pretending to be now? "New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg left the Republican Party on Tuesday and switched to unaffiliated, a move certain to be seen as a prelude to an independent presidential bid that would upend the 2008 race."
He's been looking at the Unity08 line with Chuck Hagel.

May I ask...when was he ever?
He only took the “R” because he lost in the dem run for mayor......and Rudy had long coat-tails!

He might turn out to be the Ross Perot of the Dems, taking enough votes from Hitlery, and many fewer from whichever weak candidate the Republicans put forth, to keep the White House in Republicans hands.

May every RINO in the nation follow his lead! Question is, do the RINOs split the vote with Shrillery or with Rudy McRomneyson?

Heck, even Vacant Trent Lott is really a RINO too One who was also once a Democrat, or at least an aide to the Democrat Representative who he then replaced running as a Republican in '72.

To: Political Junkie Too
If you recall, Democrats were running Andrew Cuomo (Bill Clinton's HUD Secretary) and Carl McCall. Seeing this, Bloomberg ran as a Republican instead. When the Clinton's ultimately endorsed McCall (an African-American), Cuomo dropped out and McCall lost to Bloomberg.Bloomberg wins N.Y. mayors race
Political novice defeats Democrat Green in upset to succeed Giuliani
IIRC, Carl McCall was beaten by Pataki the last time Pataki ran.

Just like his pals A.Schwarzy and R.Ghouliani, Mike Bloomberg is a liberal RINO -— a liberal Democrat at heart -— a committed leftwinger. Case closed.

One more example of how New Yorkers think they’re the navel of the political world, when, in truth, they’re about a foot lower and on the other side...

He and HitLiary are in ca-hoots. He will split the Republican vote like Perot getting HitLiary elected and then she will name him her Veep as she cant have Obama as her Veep, you know.
Anythings possible.

bloomberg is not even a mainstream republican. he’s not going to pull a lot of votes away from the republican party. the case could easily be made that he will most hurt hillary since they play to similiar audiences.

How popular is he? What will he do to the Republicans if he enters the race as an independent? Is this something to be concerned about, Perotian style?

I have always believed the only way she can be elected is if there is a viable third party candidate to draw away Republican votes. It is the same way her husband was elected twice. Bloomberg is shaping up to be the Ross Perot of 2008.
