A Black Guy, A Jewish Guy and A Woman...
All walk into a bar. You think it is a start of a joke right, well it isn't. If you threw in an Italian Catholic who believes in a woman's right to choose, you may have the Presidential ballot once November 2008 comes along.
Yesterday, Michael Bloomberg, the mayor of New York City, who was never really a republican anyway, he just ran on the republican party platform so that New Yorkers wouldn't think he was some independent kook, removed himself from the republican party and decided to be an independent again.
Speculation is abound that the reason he did this was to make a run for president, whether it is true or not, I think as an independent he could garner enough support to get himself on the November ticket. God knows he has the money to finance 10 presidential campaigns if he wanted to. Question is, is this crop of presidential candidates so weak politically, that anybody with about 5 billion dollars in the bank can come in and basically buy the U.S. Presidency. I say yes.
I wanna give you middle america's worst case scenario; either Obama or Hilary win the Democratic nod and pick the other to be their running mate. Rudy Guiliani wins the Republican primaries and Mayor Mike throws half a billion dollars (thats $500,000,000 for those of you keeping score at home) and runs on the independent ticket. What will conservative white protestant middle america do? Write in vote for George Bush, third term? Shit I wouldn't even know who to vote for. Cause they all suck.
