How Would Bloomberg Alter '08 Landscape?

NYC Mayor's Party Change Brews Speculation On Who Would Suffer From His Potential Candidacy

(CBS)  Michael Bloomberg's announcement that he is leaving the Republican Party has solidified the New York mayor's status as one of the most enticing non-candidates in the '08 presidential field.

A day after the announcement, Bloomberg repeated his assurance that he intends to finish out his second term as mayor and will not be a candidate for president.

"I’m not running for president and I’m going to be mayor for the next 925 days," he told reporters Wednesday, adding, "I've got the greatest job in the world."

Bloomberg says he wants to send a message that politics needs to be less partisan, reports CBS News chief White House correspondent Jim Axelrod.

"Today you are a piranha if you have coffee with someone from the other party, in many cases," he said.

But political advisers aren't taking Bloomberg at his word and are grappling with the reality that next year's general election could become a three-person affair.

"I think the country might be ready for a third-party candidacy — and he's got the money to do it, if he chooses to do it," said CBS News chief Washington correspondent Bob Schieffer.

Bloomberg was a lifelong Democrat before switching to the GOP in 2001, a move that allowed him to sidestep a crowded Democratic primary field.

His liberal positions on several hot-button issues, include abortion, gun control and gay rights, lead many to believe that his impact on the election would negatively affect the Democratic nominee. The New York Times reported that several political analysts agreed that a Bloomberg candidacy would do just that.

But Bloomberg could also garner the support of disaffected GOP moderates.

Third-party candidates traditionally have siphoned off support from the party in which they left, notes CBS News political consultant Nicolle Wallace.

Such was the case when Teddy Roosevelt left the Republicans to become a Bull Moose in 1912 — a move that helped contribute to Democrat Woodrow Wilson's victory.

CBSNews.com senior political editor Vaughn Ververs points out that since Bloomberg will be able to bypass the primary cycle, he likely won't have to announce his candidacy until after February of next year.

"It's going to be hard to say what his impact will be until we know who the two nominees are for both parties," said Ververs said.

One of Bloomberg's more daunting tasks would be getting his name on the ballot, since state parties have control of the election process.

But Bloomberg enjoys the benefit of having some time to weigh his options.

Whether he decides to seek the nation's highest office might depend on what happens during the primaries. If the nominees are Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani, for example, Bloomberg might find it difficult to find his own niche in an all-New York field.

"I think what he is truly doing here is exploring," Schieffer said. "He's testing the waters — testing the market. He's going to go around the country, he's going to make some speeches, he's going to see what kind of a reaction he gets. And if he gets a good reaction, my prediction is that he will run as an independent candidate."

For starters it got that stupid looking Fred Thompson off the page and that is a good thing.

[imprisonbush]

As a Democrat from NYC, I think it would be great if Bloomberg ran. Though I am not dissatisfied with either Edwards, Clinton, or Obama, I think I would prefer Bloomberg as having the greatest chance of bringing this country together. Even though I do not agree with him on some issues, he has been a very good mayor who has NOT been beholden to ANY party, Republican or Democrat. In other words, he is NOT a partisan. His vast fortune also allows him to continue to do what he belives to be correct. He's good good judgment and a lot of support here in NYC, despite the fact that he could be accused of personally financing both of this election campaigns. His candidacy would also pose a lot of problems for the Republicans, particularly Guiliani, as Bloomberg was heartily endorsed by Guiliana to replace him as NYC mayor, and he has demonstrated a great competency. During any debate, unlike the three main Republican monkeys, he will not suck up to the conservitive neo-nuts, which should get him lots of fans from both sides the aisle. Go Bloomberg!!!

[randalds]

I think he may be the first 3rd party candidate in modern times to actually have a chance of winning. He's not a right wing lunatic like George Wallace was or a left wing has been like Ralph Nader is. He's a moderate (a leftist to the hillbilly crowd, but who cares about them) and certainly has the intelligence to run the country (unlike the chimp in charge now). He doesn't need any outside financing and has more then enough money to seriously compete with both major party candidates. He would be beholden to no special interests because he doesn't need any contributions from anyone. If he runs then both major parties had better take him seriously.

[mitywhity]

Bloomberg? He's a horrible choice for president.

[gunownerdan]

I wonder which millionaires/billionaires will be able to buy the most votes to become the next president of America........the land of the free(if you're filthy rich).

[fredgrad2000]

RandalDS -

Agree with your post entirely, except for need to namecall Pres Bush (adds nothing to your points) - I am someone who would definitely be interested in a Bloomburg candidacy because I think once again, we're going to get stuck with the 2 candidates who most please their vocal fringes - GOP-er who panders to the religious right and Dem who panders to MoveOn.org (who scare me far more with their views than people too concerned about other people's life choices). I want to hear more of his economic and national security positions, but I'm with him in the center on social positions he has espoused on; which coincidentally, if he admits there is a war on terror and fights it, AND fights all the pressure from the left to raise taxes and socialize health care; he'd be in the majority on virtually every major issue - with the money to make sure people know it!! He could be tough to beat...

[jsilver2th]

Who Bloomberg "hurts" depends on what brand of snake oil all the party tickets are selling...

People that think he has a chance are delusional-

John Anderson (it takes more than being right). Ross Perot (it takes more than being rich).

I know know a lot about NYC politics but if Rudy is the nominee- and Hillary is the nominee you have 3 from Mew York- so does not this benefit Hillary as the female?

Posted by ImprisonBush

Come ON - I agree on Bloomburg, and I don't want a far righter being the GOP nominee either, but both Guiliani and McCain are fighting the GOP base on a number of issues. Which Dem candidate is doing that? They are all just taking their marching orders from MoveOn.org and the like!! Only Obama is consistent in his positions from anytime in the last few years. Edwards and Hillary have changed their views 180 degrees from even 2 years ago; they're playing for votes, not acting on principle, and running further to the left each passing speech they give. They have no credibility at all. I want an independent that STARTS the race and finishes it appealing to all voters as opposed to a far lefty OR far rightie that has to pander to the "base" fringes of America to get the nomination; then spends the general election cycle explaining their back-pedaling to the center (which of course only means one sure thing; they either lied to the primary voters or are lying to the general public now).

[jsilver2th]

Come come- by changing parties from Democrat to Republican before he ran for Mayor Bloomberg has shown he is more that willing to change his stripes to suit the situation and will be going which ever ways the polls are blowing-

[loyalgop]

Wow, what a unique idea...a liberal, gun hating New Yorker joining the presidential race. Move over Hil and Rudy...

As a GOP member for over 30 years I say Bloomy, don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out!

Can't help it. I call them as I see them. I'm not sure about Bloomberg myself yet, but I sure am glad to have a viable alternative to look at. I seem to agree with him on most major points, but I still want to know where he stands on Amnesty for undocumented workers (I'm for it) and how he proposes to stop the insane war in Iraq. Still we shall see.

[antoniof123]

Let's look at it like this the neo cons lock step and so any vote for an independent is really a vote for the neo cons. So save your breath Bloomberg can not win the only thing he can do is pull votes from the Dems. That would mean another 4 years of the family value party of god wing nuts that have done enough damage.

Even though I would love to see an independent party it is not possible. They are not orginazed enough and do not have the capibility in place to mount and effective run. So once again a vote for and independent is voting for the neo con party. Just vote for them instead of trying to make a point it is a lost vote.

[gunownerdan]

Almost any democrat or republican politician can switch parties and they would still be the same suit-wearing prostitute they were before.

RandalDS said, "I think he may be the first 3rd party candidate in modern times to actually have a chance of winning. He's not a right wing lunatic like George Wallace was or a left wing has been like Ralph Nader is."
---
Bloomberg is strictly a regional phenomenon, and probably won't be seen after his first (and last) presidential bid. But what Bloomberg demonstrates is the complete collapse of the GOP circus-- ringleadered in 1994 by Newt Gingrich-- as some kind of "revolution".

The only change wrought by the GOP was devolution of American government, strangling the tax base (Norquist) to suit fat cat GOP contributors, and shoving the burdens of government onto the embattled American middle class.

Regardless of your politics, Ralph Nader has been generally beneficial to the American political system. Much of what we expect from corporations and government as our due is the product of Nader's 30-year effort on behalf of average Americans.

Nader introduced massive reforms in government and consumer affairs-- reforms like transparency of government and corporate affairs, increased scrutiny of public officials and responsible behavior by orporations. Nader's was a true revolution of lasting, constructive change.

[randalds]

Posted by alphaa10 at 04:28 PM : Jun 20, 2007

I disagree. With his personal wealth Bloomberg could easily buy over 1 billion dollars worth of advertising that would make him much more then a regional phenomenon. Also while I agree that Nader was important in his day (and I was a devoted believer in him and his goals for years) he is still a has been. His runs for the presidency are little more then pure ego trips and he needs to stop before he embarrasses himself more and ruins his once considerable reputation further.

It's not a question of whether Bloomberg could win the election or not - he doesn't stand a snowball's chance in Hell (can I say that here, or do I have to say "Hades") of winning. The question is which of the two major parties he would hurt the most, which can be argued either way.

She is. You see some people (democrats) can do more then one thing at a time. In fact some of them can do many things at once. It's called being intelligent (look it up). Unlike republicans (Bush for instance) who have trouble walking and chewing gum at the same time.

[gkc99]

This is the best America can do?

A republican brain-damaged smirking chimp as president.

A menacing, skulking sociopath as vicepresident.

Heartless Hillary for Dem candidate and the empty suit from Illinois for VP candidate.

A schizo billionaire as the spoiler.

And a fried-cheeyikin eatin' cracka leading the repubbie pack?

Oh Lord, send a great wave . . .

[hypnotoad72]

I would love to see Bloomberg elected as well.

Romney talks.
Guiliani betrays himself with his own words.
Hillary, no frigging way unless she can convince us she can put through a national health care plan. Which seems difficult, she was called "communist" by Republicans - who seem to be cheering her these days? Forget party lines, she's a shill who's no better than
McCain - well, if anyone can think of a person who deserves the office even less, let me know...


Bloomberg says something and DOES it. While Governor Arnold of CA designs "Hummer" SUVs then says "We need to go green" with no followup (yet), Bloomberg actually says "We need to go green" and then makes and commits plans on converting NY's taxi service to hybrids.

Bloomberg comes across as if he'll give a *** for actual Americans and I'll put any differences or biases I've got and vote for him if he runs. HE is a man of integrity.

If only our current President and Congress did more for the American people, their popularity rates wouldn't be so low. And I don't disagree with President Bush's reasons for needing to stay in Iraq, but when it comes to 'globalization', too many Americans are feeling left out and that - more than anything - is why we're losing ground. This needs to be reversed.

hypnotoad--I read that in India they have a car that runs on air, goes over 60mph and can travel around 160 miles on a fillup that costs $2.00. If Bloomberg is planning for hybrids, then he is going for what Big Oil calls "green"--anything that gets a few more miles per gallon--but nothing more than has already been achieved with the internal combustion engine alone. Bloomberg's road to the future is the road Big Oil wants us to take.

yurpallid - everything we are or will lose in the near future will be because morons like you voted and and cheered on America's worst president ever - George W. Bush.

You yourself have no freedoms -- your lost your freedoms when you tossed your brains down the toilet to become a Bushie - you let Rove and Hannity and Rush and Murdoch sell you soundbites and cause you can regurgitate them fairly well you have a false sense of being 'brainy'.

But never forget this - when it came down to it you chose to go against America and instead sided iwth a cowardly, childishly immature, foolishly stubborn fake-texan trust fund baby who preferred dressing up in cheerleading outfit to play football!

[nyckate]

yurpallid - 67% of America now know that Bush has America headed down the wrong road - his failures have become terribly obvious while in comparison he has no successes.

Problem is what the heck are we going to do with the likes of you?? You obviously have nothing to contribute to America and have proved you don't have the intelligence of a gnat and can only tell us what Rush tells you to say - you don't have a thought process. So when Bush's term is over what do we do with you??

I am not enthralled with Bloomberg at all and I like even less the fact that he might pull from the Democrats. What I really can't fathom is how any American might think that Bloomberg is some kind of answer. His politics and stances are largely Democratic which I have no objection to, but why Bloomberg? What's he got but several billion dollars. He certainly changes parties like he changes his clothes. I think this speaks for his lack of commitment and his inability to feel any loyalty to others.
Hopefully, Americans will understand that a third party candidate may give us another neocon. A Republican, any Republican, is going to be beholden to the same corporate interests, the same religious right, the same cronies as Bush. We need a different direction from that and while the Democrats may not be perfect, they are certainly better than the Repub's at helping the middle class because of their initiatives in protecting the consumer, standing up for the environment, and promoting stem cell research which holds such promise for us all...and that is just a small sampling of their goals.

Bloomberg would be crazy to leave his power base in NY. He doesn't play well in the rest of the country for his stands on gun control, etc., so I'd be surprised to see him "garner the support of disaffected GOP moderates." I'm one, and I sure wouldn't vote for him.
