Republicans want to draft Bloomberg as a third party candidate because they know he'll have a reverse Perot effect and take enough democrat votes to ensure a republican victory.

I haven't spent too much time looking into Bloomberg as yet (I've been too busy researching the candidates already in the race).  So maybe one of you can fill me in...

If Bloomberg ran an independent campaign, which candidate(s) would he hurt the most (ie, take votes from)?

Afterall, that seems to be what an independent accomplishes- doesn't garner enough votes to win, just enough to give the nomination to the party least like him.

Don't get me wrong- I'm an independent and would like to see a more bi-partisan candidate take the WH, but I'm not sure America is ready yet to give up it's deathgrip battle between the ultra right and ultra left.

If Hillary get's the nod, Go For It Mike!

You had better draft him in the army the way things are in afganistan and Iraq .I know its hard to get the news but how many US soldiers have died in JANUARY I guess fewer than in December huh ,NOT check your count body total rising what about the surge now how long till beni sadr comes back,keep up the useless prattle like Bloomnberg and ignore the real stories.

If Hillary is on the ticket
(even as VP).....

I'll vote for a third party

Tell us more about Bloomberg......
Hopefully, we won't need him !

Yeah right. If Bailey says Bloombeg will be president. It's that simple. Gimme a break

Democrats better pray that Obama is the nominee. If it's  Hilary, Bloomberg is running and WILL take votes away. Repub victory. Ugh.

So would we call his "movement" the Brass Roots?

There are no "regular" Americans clamoring for this guy.  Please.

Hillary will be on the ticket...it will be the top of the ticket and it will not matter one bit who you cast your vote for.

Our mainstream media is doing us all an injustice once again. Through their censorship and smear campaigns against the only two candidates that actually give a damn about the people rather than the globalist Zionist agenda. They won't give Kucinich or Ron Paul a fair shake and have used every dirty trick in the book to make sure that those two patriots never see the light of day. The US Constitution simply cannot take another globalist such as Hillary. It gets stomped from the right then the left.

Divide and conquer. Too bad Americans have no clue what their constitution means or give a damn. It wasn't their blood shed for freedom. They just shuck it away in ignorance.

So far, Hillary is the Bilderberg puppet, but that may soon change when Mike Bloomberg (wanna guess his nationality) throws his hat in the ring. The dynamics of the election will be transformed dramatically and you will see the shift when Hillary gets stomped into the ground by the same media that now favors her as their Zionist daughter. Blood's thicker than water and Bloomberg will get the backing of AIPAC.

Is there anybody really for this guy other than himself?  Oh yeah, a handful of bland, over-the-hill politicos who already had their day.

Sorry - no special treatment for bored billionaires.  If Bloomberg wanted to play the game, he should have picked a party and taken his chances.  

Hillary WILL be at the top of the Democratic ticket and WILL be victorious in November.  She's not even my first choice.  But that's the future - and some of you had better get used to it!

Mayor Bloomberg Seeks to Win White House As His
Staff Covers-up Lost of Harlem Pastor’s Home

UPDATE 16 January 2008

Mayor Bloomberg and his top officials have left disabled Harlem Pastor Michael Vincent Crea homeless, now 41-days, after APS corruption cost him his home, household and pastoral projects, including buying his SRO building for fixed-income and persons with HIV/AIDS from ABECO CEO Abe Betesh, a Brooklyn property pillager.  

Appeals for food and a hotel room, while searching for a new apartment have gone without any response from Mayor Bloomberg, the man who would live at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, bargaining now for the DC digs.  Mike Bloomberg’s cover-up continues as Pastor Crea, left out in the cold, escaped from today’s winter cold blast, by spending last night in the subway and the Staten Island Ferry.

LEAD

As Mike Bloomberg bundled-up to jet out to Oklahoma for an independent bid to win the White House, his HRA Chief Robert Doar continued to cover-up for Adult Protective Services [APS] staff, bungling-up their admitted, deliberate loss of disabled Pastor Michael Vincent Crea’s Harlem home on December 6.

APS Central Intake Unit Supervisor Gary Barberio’s pre-Christmas collusion with SRO owner Abe Betesh, who illegally locked out and removed all Crea’s belongings, stole the housing rights activist’s holidays and home a month ago.  Now, Mayor Mike Bloomberg, the man who would live at 1600
Pennsylvania Avenue, had left town and Pastor Michael Vincent Crea is still left homeless out in the cold.

Mayor Bloomberg’s Deputy Mayor for APS Linda Gibbs has been AWOL, while HRA Commissioner Doar has failed to discipline Barberio, as APS Central Director, Rema Rivera, has not investigated her Grinch supervisor, selling out the disabled pastor’s rights, stealing his holidays and home, yet, not his Spirit.

FULL STORY

On November 20, Pastor Crea, who had won both a 230-violation HPD case, including getting his SRO neighbors hot water for the first time in over 10 years, along with his and his roommate’s 40-month rent strike, Adult Protective Services staff told him “not to worry,” as Abe Betesh sought to evict him.  

Already losing four times to the pro bono pastor, Betesh, a Brooklyn property pillager, saw Adult Protective Services assisting Crea, as another defeat in the making.  Gary Barberio despicably disregarded APS policy and procedures, coldly blowing away the pastor’s person with disabilities rights.

The defeated Abe Betesh, reneged on both Court ordered, signed settlements, having the pastor continue to strike rightfully, until Betesh did repairs but he never did justice to them.  City Marshal Gary Rose and Abe Betesh ‘assassinated’ the apartment activist, while Crea was not home on December 6, rather than allow Justice to be served after his arduous and courageous four-year stand.

Immediately, the pastor went to work with calls to Deputies Mayor Walcott and Doctoroff, with whom he had shared his proposal at the Clinton Foundation to buy Betesh properties to be used for people living with HIV/AIDS and fixed-income residents.  

Non-profit Eviction Intervention Services’ advocate Ronald Rogers told the pastor, “I don’t know what happened but someone realized that [they] made a really big boo-boo with the wrong person,” informing him of a hastily scheduled APS appointment.

Yet, after the APS legal team failed to secure the SRO kitchenette on December 13, the pastor’s calls were not returned and nothing was attempted, even to have him in a hotel for the holidays.  Distraught but determined, Pastor Crea kept up calls and emails until Christmas Eve.

As Mayor Bloomberg and his entire Human Resources Administration staff enjoyed the holidays at home, Pastor Crea stayed up sleepless in a chair at a computer at a local radio station.  A few evenings were spent on his community garden coordinators’ couch, until their own company came for Christmas.  

On December 28, APS supervisor Carmen Hernandez, told to call the pastor after all his own calls, did nothing afterwards on Crea’s requests to be given a hotel room and food until housed.  On New Year’s eve, he applied on his own for a new apartment with Harlem Congregations for Community Improvement, Inc. who is a contractor for city-owned units in Harlem, where he’s lived for 9 of the last 15 years.  

HRA previously lost the Pastor’s first Harlem home, when he served Rwandan refugees for Christmas 1994.  He had lost work in 1992, while being called “a n-gg-r lover” for defending Mayor Dinkins and Cardinal O’Connor, visiting a family after police killed their son.  

Then again, telling him to go, “not to worry,” HRA promised to pay his rent with a one shot deal but never paid it.  While still maintaining his Harlem ties and after caring for a friend with AIDS until his death, Pastor Crea returned in 2003.

Last week on January 2, Pastor Crea called Manhattan APS Director Patrick Taveres, asking that the Bloomberg administration do the right thing, in moving Crea into a new Harlem home.  As the Mayor left town, nothing was done again.  

Both APS’s Taveres and Hernandez failed to supply the promised ‘one shot deal’ funds to recover what remains after Abe Betesh’s illegal removal of Crea’s belongings, now, in a Bronx warehouse.

Only receiving a $659 Social Security Disability check monthly, Pastor Crea had to make, on his own, a $375 certified check to save his household from the warehouse, ready to get rid of all of it after 30 days. On January 7, like going to the morgue, his $375 was brought to the Bronx to identify and to secure what remains of his lifetime of pastoral projects and personal belongings, as Bloomberg begins bargaining for new D.C. digs of his own.

As to who Bloomberg would draw more votes from, if he captures the voters Perot got in 1992, Bloomberg would draw evenly from Democrats and Republicans. Exit polling in 1992 showed that if Perot had not been on the ballot, 38% of his voters would have voted for Bill Clinton and 38% would have voted for George Bush Sr. Polls earlier this year in a hypothetical matchup of Clinton, Giuliani and Bloomberg showed Bloomberg would draw slightly more from Giuliani. So, Bloomberg would not be a spoiler. The time for deciding and announcing an independent candidacy will be after the Dem and Rep nominees are known and buyer's remorse has set in--if it does. If not, and the voters are satisfied with one or both candidates, then Bloomberg can set aside his candidacy and no one will be any worse off.
