NEW YORK - New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has quietly been polling and conducting a highly sophisticated voter analysis in all 50 states as he decides whether to launch an independent presidential bid, associates said Wednesday.

1. Too late for a major party run, not as an independent...

The election is still 10 months away, remember?

8. he's not longer a republican so it worked out for him, no messy primaries

to have to get through, no work, just write a check and thats it.

3. Too late? Do people not understand that he's not running in a primary?

Jesus Christ, this is the 10th time I've had to say this.

5. You made me laugh. Thanks, wienerdoggie.

I don't read every post here, but sometimes it seems like the collective posts are just "herding cats." I doubt that the active DU posters reflect the rest of the country, so you know it's even worse out there.

I guess I should be sobbing, but your frustration made me laugh. Thanks.

4. I hope he jumps in the lake! We don't need a third party with...

Bloomberg and Nunn and the rest of the right wing democratic candidates! Stay the hell out of the race!!!!! I don't want you!!!!

6. I thought Bloomberg said he would only run if Hillary was the "democratic" nominee.

If that's the case, then there's nothing to worry about. Because she won't be.

9. Bloomberg still may get his ego stroked

Please, oh please pay attention to Michael!

10. I thought this is a democracy.. Third Party Candidates in the

past had a base. He has no base. Every 3rd Party in the past
even Nader had a base asking him to run. Surveys are not boots on the ground.

It is my observation that certain elites with their own agenda
is pushing this.

This has a suspicious smell.
