Independents are beginning to make the statement to all the presidential candidates (and Bloomberg will not be excluded from this, should he run) that they're going to have to convince us that they're more interested in changing America for the better and getting us on the right track than getting themselves elected. independents are happy to see him become “unaffiliated,” many want him go further – namely to positively “affiliate” himself with independent voters and the independent movement. The American people – and independents in particular – have already been through an experience where a wealthy businessman stepped forward and ran for president as an independent, but turned out to be an unreliable ally in building a lasting movement to fight the negative impact of partisan gridlock. We don’t want to end up in a Ross Perot-type situation again. Mike Bloomberg has been a good mayor and has helped to popularize the idea of non-partisan governance. At the same time, we want to know that Bloomberg will do his part to empower the “on-the-ground” independent movement if he moves ahead.<BR/><BR/> For more on the history of Bloomberg and independents, read The Bloomberg Story (by Jacqueline Salit who ran Bloomberg's independent campaign for mayor in NYC) at http://www.independentvoting.org/Bloomberg.htmlUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11559213551753508985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-49500751960882826482007-06-17T10:16:00.000-04:002007-06-17T10:16:00.000-04:004:13, You are a racist!

I'm not a great fan of Al, he is a bit of a stuff-O-guts. So laboriously intellectual. I'm always wary of people who want you to believe they are the smartest person in the room. Clinton is effortless at that kind of thing. He does not force his intellect on you. Anyway, I hope Hillary has a tactical surprise or two on her sleeve should Al declare and pick Obama as his VP. Just before this happens Hillary should announce her own VP pick, she should pick a hispanic candidate. Richardson or Salazar and let the war of attrition begin. Al cannot stand too much sunlight and rigor before, well rigor mortis sets into his ideas. He is deadly boring after 5 minutes and not even Obama can save him. Hillary should fight this one out till the last dog dies, as the saying goes. The only downside is that it will split the Democratic party and leave it shattered in pieces.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-33373244949514161462007-06-13T13:56:00.000-04:002007-06-13T13:56:00.000-04:00Andy, It's Justin (Celine's brother).

Don't get me wrong, I salivate at the prospect of Gore/Obama, but I feel Obama's personality can be so magnetic that it will only serve to highlight a constant gripe uttered vis-a-vis Gore: that he can be be stultifyingly wooden and unable to connect with voters. Plus, though I applaud him and feel grateful for his service with respect to the crusade to arrest global warming, I feel many Americans in the vast middle of our nation are tiring of the nearly risible demagoguery on the subject (though personally I feel it necessary to inspire action). That's my two cents. I hope all is well with you these days.
