NewYork Mayor Michael Bloomberg
has left the Republican Party and switched to “unaffiliated”.
The billionaire former CEO, who was a lifelong Democrat before he switched to the Republican Party in 2001 [...]
With an estimated worth of more than 5 billion dollars, he could easily finance an independent presidential bid. [...]
“If he runs, this guarantees a Republican will be the next president of the United States. The Democrats have to be shaking in their boots,” said Greg Strimple, a Republican strategist in New York who is unaligned in the race.
The belief among some operatives is that Bloomberg’s moderate positions would siphon votes from the Democratic nominee.
Former Democratic Party Chairman Donald Fowler said Bloomberg would be “a disturbing factor to both parties”, but the mayor would probably draw more Republican votes simply because “Republicans are more disenchanted than Democrats”.
“Democrats are pretty happy with their candidates,” Fowler said. “The Republicans are absolutely in disarray.”

Sehe,
Acest articol este dintr-un ziar favorabil democratilor, nu-i asa? Legatura nu merge (undeva in irlanda, din cite se pare?) dar ultimul citat lamureste situatia: cica sarmanii republicani sint dezorientati !? Dimpotriva, mi se pare ca republicanii au citiva candidati solizi si apele incep sa se clarifice, in timp ce democratii inca se dau in barci cu Hilary, Edwards, Obama, unul mai pelos(i) decit altul. In cel mai onest punct de vedere, hai sa spunem ca mai sint necesare citeva luni de ambele parti ca sa se lamureasca deplin. Dar sa spui ca unii sint in haos si altii calaresc implacabil spre victorie, este un pic cam newyorktimist optimist.
Relativ la Bloomberg insusi, eu cred ca va atrage voturi de la democrati. Nu cred ca sint multi republicani care sa-l fi considerat vreodata "de-al lor". Norocul lui a fost sustinerea lui Giuliani, fiindca altfel se vede democratul din el.
golane,
ai inceput si tu sportul asta ? habar nu am daca ziarul e de stinga sau dreapta, ... (nu stiu de ce nu mai merge link`ul).
am auzit stirea despre Bloomberg in Franta, am dat pe "Google news" si am cules citeva articole.
articolul speculeaza pierderi de vot in ambele parti din cauza de Bloomberg, in timp ce acesta se jura ca nu va candida in 2008.
si eu cred ca va atrage voturi de la democrati.
articolul nu era din The New Yorker, insa fiindca tot a fost pomenit cu atita fervoare de o preopinenta, ... iata ca s-a publicat si acolo un articol despre Bloomberg, ... cica "Now we are to take seriously as candidate a short, divorced Jew with a nasal whine..."
articolul sustine ca desi candidatura lui va lovi in democrati, ... exista si riscul ca Giuliani sa piarda ceva alegatori in favoarea lui ...
