"Yes, Al, run! Preferably 3rd party."

I seriously doubt he would do this, but a Bloomberg/Gore ticket would get a lot of votes. Bloomberg has no appeal outside of the leftist NYC area, but Gore could do damage nationwide. It would comprise the far left of the dems with a lot of "conservative" dems. Plus lots of independants. Virtually no republicans, but they may not need them to win. BTW, interesting to read the comments from liberals to her article. They really HATE her for pointing out the obvious about the current crop of democrats. They ignore Paglia's advice at their own peril. Leftists obviously think that the candidates aren't liberal enough. And that America just "can't wait" to elect an uber-liberal to the highest office, even someone with absolutely no qualifications, like Obama or Hillary. Richardson is the only one who could plausibly claim executive experience.

And they have a mirror image, right here on FR:

"FReepers obviously think that the candidates aren't conservative enough. And that America just "can't wait" to elect an uber-conservative to the highest office, even someone with absolutely no qualifications, like Hunter or Tancredo. Huckabee is the only one who could plausibly claim executive experience." ;)

Don't kid yourself. Bloomberg is willing to spend $1 Billion of his own money on a Presidential run. That can buy a lot of appeal outside of NYC.

Oh, how I would love to see Bloomberg/Gore on a third party ticket.
