re: #102 PT Barnum

I don’t think the 2012 will be won by the base on either side. It will be based on who can actually deliver some results.

Well, true. But my point is that it will be a cold day in Hell before Bloomberg gets the Republican nomination, considering the current bad crazy that has infected the party, and that the base don’t have any reason to trust him, much less vote for him.

If the GOP and Dems have both shown they can’t govern, I could see Bloomberg running on a 3rd party (the Responsible Adults) and beating both of them.

I don’t disagree. The only real question, however, is does a guy like Bloomberg really want to bother with that kind of run for office? It’s one thing to be mayor of NYC. It’s another to be POTUS. Is that something he’d want to even try for?
