Let him split the loony-bird vote with HillaRudy.

Any conservative FOURTH party candidate would win.

He is nothing more than a very wealthy Jewish version of David Dinkins. I do hope he runs because he can only skim support from the Democrats and about 100,000 RINOs from the N.E. Run, Mikey, run.

New York City voters would prefer current Mayor Michael Bloomberg over former Mayor Rudy Giuliani for president of the United States.

Ofcourse they would. They want him the hell out of the NYC mayors office any way possible.

What kind of man spends $1 billion of his own money to get a job that pays $600,000?

You mean 400,000. That is even worse. But to answer you question...a guy with a big ego.

Yeah, he will spend all of that money and still lose, why don’t he divvy it up and give it to poor people who could really use it.

I have no doubt that Fred Thompson will get the GOP nomination and he could or will beat Hillary, but, with a Ross Perot 3 rd Party candidate, I am not so sure on that one.

If he only skims votes in the NE and Liberal states who vote Liberal anyway, then it does not matter.

he couldn’t do any worse than our “conservative” bush-boy.

Oh yeah, I'm sure Bloomberg will want to appoint another Alito and Roberts to the Supreme Court.

Are you speaking to the pic or the comment? I liked them both, but that’s me. I also realize you weren’t speaking to me, but I got a vote for Hunter= fool from your comment, and that’s who gets my vote. Not sure what you are on about but I was taught that calling one a fool is not only poor taste, but wrong. Would it be fair for me to say you hinder Romney by referencing others as fools? Thinks above the belt? Romney? I suppose that is correct as abortion is below the belt, and just came to his attention after much research, thus his enlightenment.

My bone of contention is the Murdock syndrome of using sex to sell things.

I call him on it the other day in PM but you see he was taking a gab at me with that post.

This is how alll this started with his slur about Romney and the pro choice etc.

In Romney personal life he did not believe in those things but how can you forced another to live their life according to your personal belief.

Abortion is always something the Church council against but at which point the spirit enter in the body was always vague, unknown!

That is why so many in the political field were pro-choice because personally one could have that is their personal conviction that abortion was wrong, but could they impose their personal conviction on another when the life part was so vague not knowing when the spirit entered?

What Romney witness at the Embryo Stem Cell research labs it all became so clear to him that there is no longer any room to equivocal of what was taking place there.

So by posting provacative things only encourage and weaken the morals of this country and by that very act this ia so hypocritical it like talking out of both sides of one mouth!

Foolish people want it both ways they want to play with fire and the rest is history...

He’s rich and bored. There is nothing else in life for him. why not spend a billion on scholarships educating students who have capability, but lack of means, instead of spending it on signs for a campaign he is going to lose.

why not give me a 100 million? I would build monsterous jet engines and install them all around the equator and slow the earth down to see what would happen. AND, we would have 48 hrs in a day to do double more the crap we do know. But at night I would speed the spin up to hurry up to get to the next 48 hr day, and....(wait, that means the other side of the planet wouldn’t have the 48 hour day...hmmm. I need to think of this a little more.)

A three way split of the liberal vote like that might let a fourth, conservative candidate get elected without all the compromises conservatives are usually called on to make.

Election of 1860: 4-way race won by Abraham Lincoln with less than a majority. Of course the ensuing decade was "interesting times."

Please... no!!!
Bloomberg is one of those men who knows what's best for us.

Think of him as a male Hillary Clinton.

One that intends on getting every penny back and more.

What an interesting precedent. Thank you for that.

I still didn’t like him when he was my mayor. Absolutely no way he’s getting my vote.
