If a Liberal Dem runs like Hill from N.Y., and a Liberal “Indy” like Bloomberg runs from N.Y., just how likely is it Rudy tops both of them in a national race and retains conservatives?

Actually, in the unlikely event that these three really were the General Election candidates, I think it would be very, very likely that we'd end up with President Rudy.

But I doubt that Rudy gets the nomination in any case -- and I have strong doubts that Hillary will, either.

You didn’t exactly substantiate why you believe that.

All I see are Democrats that will vote dem no matter what staying dem. Every party has a core that votes no matter what. Elitist rich white liberals that detest ties to the great unwashed in both parties choosing Bloomberg. Conservatives staying home.

And everyone else relunctantly voting Rudy.

I think that leaves Hill with the low to mid ‘40’s. Reps with high thrities to low 40’s and bloomberg swiping the rest.

the only way I can see a different dynamic is if conservatives vote for him, and I don’t think that’s going to happen.

Also, i doubt rudy is the nominee unless fred self destructs. And Hill I still think is dependent on whether Gore or another new person runs.
