Where would Bloomberg’s votes come from? The Dems? No. Conservatives? No. Independents? Possibly a few. I can’t really see this scenario coming to pass. He has no charisma and no distinct identity which would separate him from the pack.

Bloomy votes come from RINOs and uniformed people unhappy with both parties.

I too have doubts about Bloomberg's ability to win any states, but I do think his natural constituency will be moderate Republicans who defected over the war. There are a substantial number of those, but not enough by themselves to send the election to the House.
There are also a substantial number of liberals who dislike Hillary, and they might be persuaded to vote for him as well. If he can secure votes from both constituencies, then he may have a chance.
If Bloomberg runs, it will almost certainly be on the "Unity '08" ticket, which I strongly suspect was created for him, and perhaps even by him. This means he must either change his party affiliation or select a running mate who is a Democrat, independent, or third party. I expect this running mate to be Wesley Clark.
