bloomp there it is.
First of all, dad, ive been telling you this was gonna happen for months. (and maybe he wont end up running, but that seems hard to believe now; bloomy's been doing more telegraphing than sammy morse.)i think bloomberg would make a great president, but can he actually win the presidency? b/c if he cant, and he ends up taking more votes away from the dem than the repubnicant nominee, thereby paving the latter's entrance into the office, that will be epically tragic.
palm l.o. hedcatt (via text this morning): Today is a great day for america.
bean: i have mixed feelings about this.

Suffice it to say, the stars are aligned: popular discontent with both parties; a lackluster field of candidates likely to demolish each other in the primaries; a non-insane centrist, pragmatist, billionaire independent candidate; arguably the most sophisticated and well-funded campaign machine in the history of politics.
And when he does win, it will be like america 2.0. Foreign nationals can't accuse him (or us) of carrying the baggage of bush, clinton, dylan, koi etc, it will be like hitting free parking. Not only is it really the only chance to get this century out of the shitbox, but it is actually looking pretty good.
If I believed he were electable, I would agree with Palm wholeheartedly. But unfortunately I'm with Bean over in the mixed-feelings department, because I don't believe that this country will elect a Jewish New Yorker as president. And I don't want Mike Bloomberg to become the next Ralph Nader.
