Poll: Bloomberg Can’t Make It Anywhere For Presidency
-
- February
- 28
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg officially said last night in a op-ed in the New York Times that he’s officially not running for the presidency as an independent candidate.
And here’s a good reason why: A Quinnipiac Poll today showed that Bloomberg could not break out of single digits in three-way presidential matchups in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
“Maybe Mayor Michael Bloomberg realizes that New York line, ‘if you can make it there you can make it anywhere,’ doesn’t always work in politics,” said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. “In much of the rest of the country, Bloomberg wasn’t that well known or well regarded.”

Didn’t work so well for Rudy, either.
Hillary is finding it out too.
Bloomberg’s plans include challenging elliot spitzer
for governor after the mayor completes his term…
He also has a 9/11 problem that needs to be resolved
prior to any run for higher office..there are over 8000
first responders who have not yet been compensated for
the serious diseases they sustained working on the pile
for months at a time like cancers, respiratory illnesses
etc…those represent a large block of voters who are
not presently inclined toward the mayor because of the
positions his lawyers have taken with regard to
disposing of the case quickly
Bless his Moderate-Republican heart. But the Consultant
is indirectly plugging a certain law firm,
and there also is strong disagreement about how many
of those cases really can be attributed to Sept. 11.
It apparently is not as “matter of fact” as the
Consultant presents it to be.
Indeed, Furniture Man/Patriot. So far as Bloomberg goes, he’s probably incorruptible, but has too much mother hen in him. Preferable, though, to Spitzer any day.
ethan..trust me..the class has been certified…that
means the injuries were sustained at ground zero..
that means the city is liable ..the question of who
gets what is the only remaining issue…to stall this
claim any further does a great disservice to our
first responders …should (god forbid) we have another
attack it seems to me there should be no doubt that
if our emt’s fire workers and police are asked to
clean up that if the are exposed to the deadly brew
of toxins that existed at ground zero and do become
ill the least they can expect is to be compensated
by those who have asked them to protect the rest of us
Because if that is not the case then why should they
put their lives on the line, which by the way they
do gladly. However that air was not fit to breath
there were 165,000 tyvac suits still in the warehouse
and the law is clear that if you instruct people
to work a site you have the obligation to make sure
it is safe…the site was not safe..Whitman knew it
and Rudy knew it….
Ed, You’re more “polished” than that. But you were
thinking of Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain Boys.
Consultant, I didn’t say you were wrong. I said
there was a lot of debate about it, and I also
used the word “apparently.” Bill Clinton gave
me parsing lessons.
If you are correct, then I hope it’s resolved soon.
Your explanation seems credible to me.
Don’t call me Polish. (Although I count some Polish people among my closest friends.)
