Bloomberg (who is considering an extremely difficult challenge) would need to know he at least starts with New York electors in the bag, meaning he'd have to heavily win the metro area. Yet there's two other candidates who claim that home turf and who both potentially could be in the general election. I can see Bloomberg making a series of fact finding efforts to see if he would be viable. First question is whether he could win New York with Guiliani and Clinton in the race. I don't think either will be in the general election, though. Also, I'm guessing Bloomberg's fact finding will show him, if not at this stage then later ones, that he can't get a majority of electors. And he can't just play for a plurality of electors, because then the election goes to Congress, where he would have no obvious backers.</description></item><item><title>More oh-eight: One day until 6/30.</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/29/249229.aspx#538900</link><pubDate>Sun, 30 Dec 2007 05:44:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:538900</guid><dc:creator>Andrew MacRae, Washington DC</dc:creator><description>&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.uniteformike.com"&gt;http://www.uniteformike.com&lt;/a&gt; - join the draft effort today!&lt;br&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
