with the Dems seldom winning the popular vote (over 50%), any votes taken away from Republicans will help their candidate in 2008

The Dems haven't gotten above 50% of the popular vote since 1976, when Carter got 0.08% above that mark. That was 30 years and 7 presidential elections ago. Bloomberg might take some votes away from the Republican, like in NY, Vermont, Mass., Penn., but I doubt he'd take many Republican votes in the south, midwest, and west. Whereas the Dems can't break 50%, with Bloomberg in the race in '08, they probably wouldn't break 40%.
