As for the ‘Clinton machine’....lets not get too carried away. The best the so called ‘machine’ could do was over a decade ago, gaining Bill Clinton 49 percent of the vote in a three candidate race featuring a unelectable to national office GOP candidate (Bob ‘its my turn, damnit!’ Dole).

A Green Party Gore could spell disaster for the Dems. It could pull enough votes away from the GOP that they could even elect Dole this time.

A Big-Business Country-Club Independent Bloomberg could spell disaster for the GOP if they don't nominate a BB-CC and go with a more conservative condidate. It could pull enough votes away from the GOP that the Dems could elect Dumbo -- the elephant or the clown from Illinois.

I don’t see a faux republican like Bloomberg gaining any support outside of the weird political enviroment that is New York city.

let alone a gun grabber, which is most certainly is.
