Michael Goodwin writes in his Daily News column [Mike in '08? Dream on, May 31, 2006] that Mayor Bloomberg can't run for Prez as a Dem because he left the party, and he's too liberal for the national Repubs. "That leaves only a third-party opening, the longest of long shots. He'd have to organize, or buy, a field operation to get on the ballot in all 50 states.While third-party fantasies are political perennials, they need almost perfect conditions to bloom. They do best in a vacuum, when the public is disgusted with both parties and no appealing leader of national stature is running.... " (Even the New York Observer notices the Bloomberg-Third-Party run talk...) Goodwin goes on to say that while the public is disgusted, there's no end to major party candidates who can step in, and Mike doesn't want to be a spoiler.
Maybe third-party fantasies grow in perfect conditions, but who needs fantasies? -NH

dems would vote for him; he's a social liberal and most dems are social liberals in this day and age.
