==He’s going to be the Ross Perot of 2008, giving us a Clinton Presidency.==
Not at all. Perot had appeal to middle American voters afraid (rightfully in my view, but I don’t want to get into this now) of free trade agreements. Bloomberg is basically the polar opposite of Perot: A socially libertarian, internationalist New Yorker. I can’t imagine a demographic he threatens more than the abortion-on-demand, limo-left wing of the Democrats.
