This post at Libertarian Republican…and its comments…caught my eye this morning. So, I wonder how many Obama supporters will remember what it was like back in 2000, when many of them were just shocked that America…or at least the Supreme Court…could elect someone like George W. Bush, and in 2004 when those same folks could [...]
1. Isn’t the ability to pick good proxies and delegate authority to them the sign of a good President? Don’t commanders-in-chief who take on every duty tend to burn out (something that may be dangerous for some senior citizens)? 2. I wonder if Bloomberg is kicking himself for not having run. It would have been really [...]
Seen at NY1: In an interview on “Inside City Hall” Friday night, Deputy Mayor Kevin Sheekey promoted the idea of an Obama-Bloomberg presidential ticket – and revealed that Mayor Michael Bloomberg spoke Thursday with the Democratic presidential frontrunner Barack Obama. That would certainly one-up McCain on campaigning for the middle of the American political spectrum…but would Bloomberg’s [...] 
I think this was pretty much expected, given McCain being virtually certain to get the GOP nod, and inertia favoring Obama’s change-based campaign among the Dems, but this makes it official. Quoting Political Ticker: New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has publicly flirted with the idea of a run for the White House as [...]
Seen in a New York Times blog: But [Senator Hagel] said that Mr. McCain’s centrist views would appeal to the very demographic that Mr. Bloomberg had hoped to attract, including independents and moderates. His conversation with the mayor, Mr. Hagel said, was predicated on the idea that there would be an opening for an independent Bloomberg candidacy. [...]
Seen on the AP wire: Michael Bloomberg may soon begin a massive operation to get on the ballot in up to 15 states even though the billionaire mayor may not decide until May whether to run for president, according to associates. Despite John McCain’s widening lead in the Republican race, an imminent ballot deadline for third-parties in [...]
Seen at Politico: I just now spoke to Ralph Nader, who said the launch of his exploratory Web site wasn’t timed to Edwards’ withdrawal, but that Kucinich’s withdrawal had made space in the race for him. “We’re testing the waters on the overriding issue of corporate control, of our political economy, and anything else the dogma of [...]
Seen at Rasmussen: The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that roughly 15% of voters would currently vote for [either Ron Paul or Michael Bloomberg] in general election match-ups. When the two candidates are mentioned as independent options in match-ups between Mitt Romney and the two Democratic frontrunners, Paul and Bloomberg attract roughly the same level [...]
Obama gets a moderate blogger’s support at Donklephant: Here’s the thing…if a politician can actually make us feel that there’s hope, that there’s a chance to actually mend our partisan wounds, we shouldn’t ignore it. That’s what Barack brings to the table, and that’s why I’m excited about his candidacy. I can agree with that sentiment. [...]
Two Bloomberg-oriented articles have caught my eye in the past couple of days. First, from MSNBC, we see that Bloomberg could very well be a man after my own heart — a politics and stats junkie: New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has quietly been polling and conducting a highly sophisticated voter analysis in all 50 states as [...] |
