Voting for Bloomberg is like voting for Ralph Nader. It simply helps
elect a Republican. Bloomberg cannot win.

I'm not saying he would win, but he could win. He has the money, fully a
third of the electorate identify themselves as independent, and if he
could bring in some of the 30-40% of the apathetic, that don't vote, he
could win. Personally, I suspect that much of the apathy is caused by a
general disgust with what the Democrats and Republicans are offering.


Yup... we're only about a tenth of your size but usually have 5 or more
choices.
Some of them can be silly. but are a good protest vote.
Most don't run a candidate in every federal riding... tending to be a
localized thing.
