11. Who Cares?
Edited on Sat Jan-05-08 09:02 AM by KharmaTrain
People are soooooooooo impressed that he has a billion dollars to throw around. So what. Anyone have any clue where he stands on any major issue? What real experience he has? His personal life? All this become fodder the moment he jumps into the mess.

Then what appeal does Bloomberg have? Besides with the weenie-eaters inside the beltway and his buddies in the grey canyons of Lower Manhattan...where's his support? I sure as hell don't see some knuckledragger in Oklahoma voting for the Jew over the black or the female/Clinton...nor do I see his appeal anywhere outside of the "greater Tri-State" area.

Personally, I've grown to like Mike...he's done a far better job in New York than Rudy ever could have, but I don't see any thing that says Presidential about the guy. I think this is more an ego stroke. Here's a man who has done everything he's set his mind to...and with it has evolved quite an ego...and the ultimate ego trip is to think you're so successful or powerful or popular that you could be president. Let Mike sleep with that fantasy...in reality he'd be lucky to get 5% of the vote in a General Election.

Plus, the third party field will get crowded soon...especially when Ron Paul bolts.
