Somebody explain to me, why would any potential Republican voter would vote for Bloomberg? He’s more liberal than Giuliani.
OK, maybe he would draw off some of the Independent vote, which both candidates would need, but I think more Indies would be drawn from the Hildybeast’s pool than from whomever is the GOP candidate.
IMHO, if Bloomberg is serious about winning he would select Obama as his running mate and encourage Ron Paul to run as a “Libertarian.” In such a case with a fragmented electorate it is possible for him to prevail. If he would not prevail, as documented in the above posts he would end in ignominy any Republican chance.
