Will Bloomberg running as a third party candidate assure a victory for Hillary??

I don’t think so. He may actually take more democratic votes than republican.  I think he would help Rudy in the Northeast if Rudy is the republican. He will get liberal voters without taking away hardly any conservative voters for Rudy.

I think Bloomberg would take much of Rudy’s vote.  They share many policies, but Bloomberg doesn’t have the Imitation Mussolini personal style that hinders Giuliani.  There are things I like about both of them.

Nope.  Don’t even think it.  Not the governor.  He has a job to do (God bless him and help keep him focused on governing and not on imposing his personal religious interpretations on the rest of us) while I’m just a moderate gadfly ... which in Louisiana they call “liberal.” --Faux Bobby Jindal

If you are part of a society that votes, then do so. There may be no candidates and no measures you want to vote for . . but there are certain to be ones you want to vote against. In case of doubt, vote against. By this rule you will rarely go wrong. - Robert Heinlein

He will appeal to the left of center instead of the right of center Perot appealed to.

If he takes 4 or 5% he can throw the election to the republicans if all the votes come from the left.
